“The society that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting by fools.” – Thucydides [Correction: It is often wrongly attributed to Thucydides but is in fact the 1889 quote of military officer W. F. Butler.]
[Thank you to the Twitter follower who reminding me of this great quote albeit it is apparently not a quote of Thucydides.]
