Athenians Defeat Spartans

Famous quotes containing the words athenians and/or defeat:

    The Athenians govern the Greeks; I govern the Athenians; you, my wife, govern me; your son governs you.
    Themistocles (c. 528–c. 462 B.C.)

    Love your enemies. I saw this admonition now as simple, sensible advice. I knew I could face an angry, murderous mob without even the beginning of fear if I could love them. Like a flame, love consumes fear, and thus make true defeat impossible.
    Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 2, ch. 2 (1962)
