The best people…

…. possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed

– Ernest Hemingway

The greater a man is ……

…… in power above others, the more he ought to excel them in virtue. None ought to govern who is not better than the governed.

– Publilus Syrus
