Thucydides (c. 460-400 BCE)
"Do not be led astray by a false sense of honour - a thing which often brings men to ruin when they are faced with obvious danger that somehow affects their pride."
- History of the Peloponnesian War (Book V, section 111) by Thucydides, translated by Rex Warner (Penguin Classics, 1972).
