More Spartan Motivation
Walls and the City
Alcaeus of Mytilene
c. 575 B.C.
Not homes with beautiful roofs,
nor walls of permanent stone,
not canals and piers for ships make the city -
but men of strength.
Not stone and timber, nor skill
of carpenter - but men brave
who handle sword and spear.
With these you have: city and walls.
My take: There is a whole lot going on here than a muscle show. The Spartans certainly thought so!
Train Hard and let that discipline seep into other areas of your life.
