Heraclitus

Would have been fun sharing a campfire and a bowl of wine with this dude (if I spoke ancient Greek I suppose)...

"Out of every 100 men,

10 should not be here,

80 are nothing but targets,

9 are the real fighters,

and we are lucky to have them,

for they the battle make."

"Ah, but the ONE,

ONE of them is a WARRIOR,

and he will bring the others back."

Heraclitus, 500 BCE
