Zitate von Perikles

Fix your eyes upon the greatness of your country as you have it before you day by day . . . and when you feel her great, remember that her greatness was won by men with courage, with knowledge of their duty and with a sense of honor in action, who, even if they failed in some venture, would not think of depriving their country of their powers but laid them at her feet as their fairest offering.
