“Reconocer la pobreza no deshonra a un hombre, pero sí no hacer ningún esfuerzo para salir de ella”
Tucídides Discurso fúnebre de Pericles
Historia de la Guerra del Peloponeso 2.40
Discurso fúnebre de Pericles.
Para el político ateniense homónimo, véase Tucídides .Tucídides fue un historiador y militar ateniense. Su obra Historia de la Guerra del Peloponeso recuenta la historia de la guerra del siglo V a. C. entre Esparta y Atenas hasta el año 411 a. C. Tucídides ha sido considerado como el padre de la "historiografía científica" debido a sus estrictos estándares de recopilación de pruebas y de sus análisis en términos de causa-efecto sin referencia a la intervención de dioses, tal y como él mismo subraya en su introducción a su obra.[1]
También ha sido considerado el padre de la escuela del realismo político, que valora las relaciones entre las naciones en función de su poder, y no en razón de la justicia.[2] Su texto todavía se estudia en academias militares avanzadas de todo el mundo, y el Diálogo de los melios continúa siendo una importante obra en el estudio de la teoría de las relaciones internacionales.

Thucydides History of the Peloponnesian War
Variant translation: "Instead, we think the plans of our neighbors are as good as our own, and we can't work out whose chances at war are better in a speech. So we always make our preparations in action, on the assumption that our enemies know what they are doing. We should not build our hopes on the belief that they will make mistakes, but on our own careful foresight. And we should not think there is much difference between one man and another, except that the winner will be the one whose education was the most severe." Translation by Paul Woodruff.
Variant translation: "There is no need to suppose that human beings differ very much from one another: but it is true that the ones who come out on top are the ones who have been trained in the hardest school." Note: Some versions omit the "who have been".
