"THE LIGHTER SIDE OF
HISTORY"
or
"FRACTURED HISTORY"

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
an
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."

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?)

"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.
