Hellenic Tactical Air Force

Emblem

“Ρώμη μετά φρονήσεως” (Vigor combined with prudence)
(Isocrates)

Vigor combined with prudence is indeed an advantage; yet, without prudence vigor harms its possessors more than it helps them – and, while it embellishes the bodies of those who exercise them, yet it obscures the cultivation of the soul.
(Isocrates, Orations to Demonicus, 3-7)
(Loeb, by G. Norlin)

Isocrates (436-338 BC) states the aforementioned while giving advice to Demonicus, possibly son of his friend Ipponikos,
tyrant of Kitieis, Rhodes, around 394 BC.
