“This is the lifelong task, full of danger and toil, which they are always imposing upon themselves. None enjoy their good things less, because they are always seeking for more. To do their duty is their only holiday and they deem the quiet of inaction to be as disagreeable as the most tiresome business. If a man should say of them in a word, that they were born neither to have peace themselves nor to allow peace to other men he would simply speak the truth.”

THUCYDIDES, Speech of the Corinthians, regarding the character of the Athenians. B.C. 432, translated by B. Jowett, M.A.
