Daniel’s Quotes

“The test of true virtue in a man surely resides in his capacity to bear with spirit and with dignity the most complete transformations of fortune,”

“[E]very political system has a source of corruption growing within it, from which it is inseparable. For kingship it is . . . tyranny, for aristocracy it is oligarchy, and for democracy it is government by brute force.”

“There are two roads to reformation for mankind—one through misfortunes of their own, the other through those of others: the former is the most unmistakable, the latter the less painful. One should never therefore voluntarily choose the former, for it makes reformation a matter of great difficulty and danger; but we should always look out for the latter, for thereby we can without hurt to ourselves gain a clear view of the best course to pursue.”
― Polybius, The Histories of Polybius, Vol. I & II
