Thought De Jour

"Let us do our duty while the memory of freedom still abides within us, that we may leave both the name and the fact of it to our children. For if we utterly lose sight of the happy conditions amid which we were born and bred, what pray will they do, reared in bondage? . . . Let us show them that they are hares and foxes trying to rule dogs and wolves." -- Buduica on the plains of Northumbria, AD 61 (quoted by Cassius Dio)
