The History of the Peloponnesian War | 
The rest of my library sale book finds! History rocks!
I'm looking for book suggestions for books about war. I can't deal with certain triggers (children being hurt, graphic detailed rape, anything really dark and emotionally traumatizing really). So, my war options can't be just anything. I'm looking for books about Greek and Roman war history, war strategy books or fantasy/sci fi war. #war #readharder
Our constitution is called a democracy because power is in the hands not of a minority but of the whole people. When it is a question of settling private disputes, everyone is equal before the law; when it is a question of putting one person before another in positions of public responsibility, what counts is not membership of a particular class, but the actual ability which the man possesses.
In a democracy, someone who fails to get elected to office can always console himself with the thought that there was something not quite fair about it.
Self-control is the chief element in self-respect, and self-respect is the chief element in courage.
"So little pains do the vulgar take in the investigation of truth, accepting readily the first story that comes to hand." - Book 1.20
