Famous quotes containing the word greece:

    “It was modesty that invented the word “philosopher” in Greece and left the magnificent overweening presumption in calling oneself wise to the actors of the spirit—the modesty of such monsters of pride and sovereignty as Pythagoras, as Plato.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “All that grave weight of America
    Cancelled! Like Greece and Rome.
    The future in ruins!”
    —Louis Simpson (b. 1923)

    “When a man hath no freedom to fight for at home,
    Let him combat for that of his neighbors;
    Let him think of the glories of Greece and of Rome,
    And get knocked on the head for his labors.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
