Said Archidamus, the
Spartan King (ca 432, B.C.), "a man who had a reputation for both intelligence and
moderation ... 'There is no need to suppose that human beings differ very much
one from another: but it is true that the ones who come out on top are the ones
who have been trained in the hardest school.'"[1]
