Often one man with little strength and small body wins and overwhelms and hits a big, strong and brave man, and so it happens that even a humble man wins a proud man, and an unarmed man an armed man.

Philippo di Vadi, 15th century.
The society that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting by fools.
— Thucydides (via gautung)
