Xenofonte: Frases em inglês

“When the interests of mankind are at stake, they will obey with joy the man whom they believe to be wiser than themselves. You may prove this on all sides: you may see how the sick man will beg the doctor to tell him what he ought to do, how a whole ship’s company will listen to the pilot.”

Xenophon livro Cyropaedia

Bk. 1, ch. 6; as translated by Henry Graham Dakyns in Cyropaedia (2004) p. 29.
Cyropaedia, 4th Century BC
Contexto: That... is the road to the obedience of compulsion. But there is a shorter way to a nobler goal, the obedience of the will. When the interests of mankind are at stake, they will obey with joy the man whom they believe to be wiser than themselves. You may prove this on all sides: you may see how the sick man will beg the doctor to tell him what he ought to do, how a whole ship’s company will listen to the pilot.

“On making prisoners of our generals, they expected that we should perish from want of direction and order.”

Xenophon livro Anabasis

Bk. 3, ch. 2; pp. 88-89.

Contexto: On making prisoners of our generals, they expected that we should perish from want of direction and order.

“It is only for those to employ force who possess strength without judgment; but the well advised will have recourse to other means.”

Memorabilia of Socrates Bk. 1, ch. 2, as translated by Sarah Fielding in The Whole Works of Xenophon (1840), p. 523.
Contexto: It is only for those to employ force who possess strength without judgment; but the well advised will have recourse to other means. Besides, he who pretends to carry his point by force hath need of many associates; but the man who can persuade knows that he is himself sufficient for the purpose; neither can such a one be supposed forward to shed blood; for, who is there would choose to destroy a fellow citizen rather than make a friend of him by mildness and persuasion?

“On the very day that such resolution is passed, they will see before them ten thousand Clearchuses instead of one.”

Quoted in Edith Hamilton The Greek Way ([1930] 1993) p. 134.
