Socrates on Duty


[From a Facebook post four years ago on this date.] Saw this photo and was immediately reminded of an old quote by Socrates- even had to go find the book. 

"For wherever a man's place is, whether the place which he has chosen or that in which he has been placed by a commander, there he ought to remain in the hour of danger, taking no account of death or of anything else in comparison with disgrace. And this, O men of Athens, is a true saying."
