Tao Te Ching

“Demosthenes, a leader such as Greece had never known before and was never to know again. History, indeed, has known few of them... What he did all alone was almost miraculous... he lifted the whole political mess which Plato had turned from as hopeless, out of the corruption in which it was sunk up to a lofty level of patriotism.”

— Edith Hamilton 1867 – 1963 CE
from The Echo of Greece, 1957
