Geoffrey of Monmouth



Geoffrey of Monmouth (12th-century author from England)

"The leader who is as fierce as a lion in peace-time but as gentle as a lamb in time of war is not really worth much."
  • From Geoffrey of Monmouth's The History of the Kings of Britain (Part Three), completed in 1136 CE, translated from Latin into English by Lewis Thorpe (Penguin Classics, 1966).
