    Captain Hayler made it up while he was a student at the Naval War College and attributed it to Thucydides' Volume IX of the Peloponnesian War (9th volume of 8).

    Some piously affirm: "The truth is such and such. I know! I see!"
    And hold that everything depends upon having the “right” religion.
    But when one really knows, one has no need of religion. - Mahavyuha Sutra

    Freedom necessarily involves risk. - Alan Watts
