Agesilaus II quotes:

Valor would cease to be a virtue, if there were no injustice.

If all men were just there would be no need of valor.

Royalty consists not in vain pomp, but in great virtues

By sowing frugality we reap liberty, a golden harvest.

If I have done any deed worthy of remembrance, that deed will be my monument. If not, no monument can preserve my memory.

I shall show that the place does not honor the man, but the man the place.

If I have done any honorable exploit, that is my monument; but if I have done none, all your statues will signify nothing.
