The Land Of Democracy

Future ages will wonder Greece,

as the present age wonders  Greece now.

Greece's "Yesterday", shows us "Today",
how to build a better "Tomorrow"...

Nature nursed the Greeks in a hard school, but this made them conscious of themselves and their worth.

Without this self-awareness they would never have made their most important contribution to human experience: the belief that a man must be honored for his individual worth and treated with respect just because he is himself.

In the words of the great Athenian statesman Pericles:

"Each single one of our citizens, in all the manifold aspects of life, is able to show himself the rightful lord and owner of his own person, and do this, moreover, with exceptional grace and exceptional versatility."

This is what the Greeks meant by liberty.

Just as they detested the thought of being conquered, so in their own circles a man claimed for himself the freedom to do all of
which he was capable, to realize his full potential within his society, to speak what was in his mind, to go his own way without interference from other men. The belief in freedom was sustained by a deep respect for personal honor, and nurtured by a love  for action.
