THIS is a page that contains some of the more humorous
things said by some famous people.  Greek wit was very
different way-back-when but still does make you think  today!
Agesilaus, getting ready to march through
Macedonia, sent to ask the king of that country
whether he intended to receive him as a friend or
as a enemy. " I will consider," he replied.
"Then,"said the Spartan, "You think about it, and
we meanwhile will commence our march." The
king very soon sent a message : "Come as a
friend." (Smart move of the king, don't you think?)
At the Battle of Thermopylae,
WHEN TOLD THE PERSIANS
WERE SO MANY THEIR ARROWS
WOULD BLOCK OUT THE SUN,
ONE OF THE BRAVEST
SPARTANS REPLIED, "GOOD,
THEN WE FIGHT IN THE SHADE!"
A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR!
Now I ask you...Did we learn "anything" from
the Trojan War?
(Say "NO"... boys & girls!)
Does History Repeat itself?
SOCRATES ... being asked whether it was better to marry or not to marry,
replied,"Whichever you do, you will regret it."
(Words of wisdom here kids!)
ANTISTHENES ... once advised the Athenians to
pass a public vote that asses were horses.  When
they said that was a little unreasonable he replied,"
But you make Generals by public vote who have no
military qualities."
(Gee... Kinda makes you think about modern times,
huh?)
Words of Wisdom,"If you
anoint your head, the fragrance
goes off into the air, but if you
anoint your feet, the scent
asscends and gives a treat to
your nostrils."

Aristotle was once asked what those who tell lies gain by it. Said he, 'That when they
speak truth they are not believed.
"Superman wears a Red cape borrowed from the Spartans "   
"XENAPHON"  (Interesting thought!) (Scott,2008)
"Give me 5"
A
schoolmaster
was reading
badly, when
Theocritus
asked him why
he did not teach
math.  "Because
I don't
understand it"
he replied.
"Then why do
you teach
reading" was
Theocritus'
reply. (Ouch!
That had to hurt!)
Agesilaus was asked why the Laconians wore their hair long.  He replied, "because of
all the personal ornaments this cost the least."
Stilpo was
asked,"What is
colder than a
statue?"
"A man with
no feeling,"
said he.
Socrates
used to say,
That as it is
the attribute
of a God to
want nothing,
so to want as
little as
possible
comes the
nearest to
God.
A vain old envoy from Keos came to Sparta with his hair dyed, being ashamed to
appear aged. Introduced to the assembly, he delivered his message.  Upon which
Archidamus, the Spartan King, rose and said, "How can there be anything sound in the
words of a man who goes about with a lie on his head as well as his heart?"
Philip, in passing sentence on two rogues, ordered one of them to leave Macedonia
with all speed, and the other to try and catch him.
