Plutarch

"The mind is not a ship to be filled with cargo, but a flame to be kindled."

Mithrdates the Great

[The Prince] - "Our top general Archelaus, designer of all the Pontic military strategies, chief negotiator of the Peace of Dardanus, and my father's closest confident had defected. Traveling to Pergamum in the night he sought asylum from the Romans, before continuing on to the vast estate outside Athens that he had secretly been gifted by Sulla himself!" [Mithridates the Great] "I would fight the Romans if I were the only man left in Pontus! Archelaus is Wrong! Wrong that our forces cannot stand up to them, wrong that power means right, the traitor! You don't fight for the strongest side, you fight for the right side; Otherwise you are nothing more than a mercenary!" "The Last King" Michael Curtis Ford, St Martins Press 2004 Page 175
