Thucydides Filmography

The War That Never Ends
1991, role: writer

Famous quotes by Thucydides:

"Be convinced that to be happy means to be free and that to be free means to be brave. Therefore do not take lightly the perils of war."

"We (Greeks) are lovers of the beautiful, yet simple in our tastes, and we cultivate the mind without loss of manliness"

"The fact is that one side thinks that the profits to be won outweigh the risks to be incurred, and the other side would rather avoid danger than accept an immediate loss."

"Men naturally despise those who court them, but respect those who do not give way to them."

"It is frequently a misfortune to have very brilliant men in charge of affairs. They expect too much of ordinary men."

"The strong do what they have to do and the weak accept what they have to accept."

"Few things are brought to a successful issue by impetuous desire, but most by calm and prudent forethought"

"Justice will not come to Athens until those who are not injured are as indignant as those who are injured"

"The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it."

"The secret of happiness is freedom. The secret of freedom is courage."

"We Greeks are lovers of the beautiful, yet simple in our tastes, and we cultivate the mind without loss of manliness."

"Men's indignation, it seems, is more excited by legal wrong than by violent wrong; the first looks like being cheated by an equal, the second like being compelled by a superior."

"Wars spring from unseen and generally insignificant causes, the first outbreak being often but an explosion of anger."

"Few things are brought to a successful issue by impetuous desire, but most by calm and prudent forethought."

"Ignorance is bold and knowledge reserved."

"Justice will not come to Athens until those who are not injured are as indignant as those who are injured."

"The secret to happiness is freedom... And the secret to freedom is courage."

"History is Philosophy teaching by example."

"We secure our friends not by accepting favors but by doing them."

The Statues - Jake Thackray
The West Is - Nonce

Top Jake Thackray, The Statues

Closing time on Saturday it was dark.
Me and Uncle Samuel were lying in the park,
Toes towards the moonlight, noses in the flower beds.
But we know that what we saw, we saw.
She was naked. She was cast in bronze, in bronze,
Standing in the lake amidst the corporation swans.
He was millstone grit. He was Sir Robert Walpole.
And we know that what we heard, we heard.
"Lady is the water cold tonight,
Or does the silky moonlight warm your heart to me?
Or must I hanker for a hundred years again
And never-endingly gaze upon your flanks, your face?"
Well, me and my Uncle Sam, oh Constable, well, we were
right on her side.
Poor darling, she was shy and she had her pride, and
nowhere to hide.
We were there: we saw the aged sire
Shaking with a century of petrified desire,
Climbing from his pedestal all stiff and sooty.
And we know that what we saw, we saw.
He began to tremble and to sway-ay-ay.
We were drunk as penguins but we saw him clear as day
Clumping to the water's edge, Sir Robert Walpole,
And we know that what we heard, we heard.
"Lady is the water cold tonight?
Is it the milky moonlight warms my heart to you?
Well let the devil take the park attendant first!
My heart may burst, so I'm not waiting any longer
lady!"
Me and my Uncle Sam, Inspector, well, then we both got
to our feet.
Poor darling she was sweet and not very old, and
awfully cold.
We rolled up our sleeves, we got to work,
Went for him like buffaloes, like windmills gone
berserk.
He fought like a tiger - we've got the scars to prove
it -
And we know that what we've got we've got.
We hung on like death, we did our best.
He was big and gritty and he fought like one possessed
He was much too good for us was Robert Walpole,
He put us down and out and he strode on.
Lady was the water cold last night?
Was it the creamy, dreamy moonlight warmed your heart?
Oh little nymph, we both did what we could,
But it's so strange: you're infinitely changed today.
Well, me and my Uncle Sam, your Worship, well, we both
feel something's not right:
Today she wears a smile, her face is alight, and her
eyes are bright,
Ever so bright,

Top Nonce, The West Is

The West coast is blowin up
The new innovators of style, but there's more to be uncovered
From the undiscovered regions of this sector
Addin to the circulations of monumental demos
This should definitely be stamped sure shot produce
LIKE THIS!
[Verse One]
Yo whassup man to the rooftop runners
The one that's with the bass got some puff for your soul
Plus the heavy meditator still jottin down ditties but wait
An equal sum, T-mass in elevational speak
The vocal bloom while my signal was tuned
Dissect, my set level to a hoverous form
Then release, to the ear, while I watch my spirit travel
See the evil dissapear like an atomless math
Through the U.N.I., which infinity is I
Where my energy is based, see I got a fat sack of space
I toned it down for a recharge of tone
Then I threw it my sack, cause my travels are wild
Plus a power that'll read through a wearer's disguise
Through an MC form I walks, as a normal man
But my estimated time of the regular digestion of a verb
stems days uncountable to many
As a being from beyond, cuttin wax, as I break the many forms
Through a total mad account for myself
Spittin logic through a relay of words that might burn
through a century two-ways it's clear to the eyes
Then project, with approximate, greetings that's slow
Calculated to an intricate find, and disembody that
photo type place whenever rhyme with the one
True original phrase of words flowin with the page that's written
[Verse Two]
As I blast, the last dash of my lyrical gas
I pass, a regular MC path, break them before me
How uneasy, to be the MC like B
But you know how we do this when we give U.S.C.
Or A.S.T., it's not me to speak in stutter
My lyrics break fast, like bread and butter
I utter, another style, meanwhile child I profiles
The funky-ass hip-hop makes you wanna break for the mic and freestyle
Uhh, but these styles ain't free
I feel the fatness on this track, the bass frequencies
take over me, damage ya with my freaky freaky flow
Catch wreck, check ya neck, I come clean in ya speakers bro
or sis, be you mister or miss
If you need flavor and funk in your life Sugar's what you missed
Uhh, it's not good, not Nutrasweet nor a suplement
A shot of the props, leavin suckers stuck in detriment
UHH!
[Interlude]
The West Is.. "Bout to blow the fuck up"
The West Is.. ??
The West Is.. ??
The West Is.. "The place to be"
The West Is.. "down"
"And I'll tell you why in just a moment"
"And now ladies and gentlemen" {*scratched repeatedly*}
[Verse Three]
Here's a sure shot take from the ground techniques
of my speak, blowin from the West
Era ninety-three is how we hit up the sticker
I glance at my ticker, it's time
To blow the text out my throat and get the oohs and ahhs
of a applause and defeats, it gets my stand
It's how I, learned to be an MC
So take this tape, and put it witcha tape
And love it like ya breaks all smothered in the hiss
And plates of paper, to hold it all up
And I can give a fuck about a industry appeal
But watch 'em all steal this style, and blow the fuck up
Usin my shit
[miscellaneous scratches]
[Verse Four]
Right, right, right
Niggaz doin all that screamin, but really don't know shit doe
You see, if rap were a tree
Then my knowledge would bear fruits
And if rap ever falls, then I guess I'd be a parachute
If rap was the news
Then me, I'd be the commentary
And if rap were a fine bitch
Then I'd be Halle Berry!
If rap were a three and two pitch
Then I'd be wild

Famous quotes by Thucydides:

"Be convinced that to be happy means to be free and that to be free means to be brave. Therefore do not take lightly the perils of war."

"We (Greeks) are lovers of the beautiful, yet simple in our tastes, and we cultivate the mind without loss of manliness"

"The fact is that one side thinks that the profits to be won outweigh the risks to be incurred, and the other side would rather avoid danger than accept an immediate loss."

"Men naturally despise those who court them, but respect those who do not give way to them."

"It is frequently a misfortune to have very brilliant men in charge of affairs. They expect too much of ordinary men."

"The strong do what they have to do and the weak accept what they have to accept."

"Few things are brought to a successful issue by impetuous desire, but most by calm and prudent forethought"

"Justice will not come to Athens until those who are not injured are as indignant as those who are injured"

"The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it."

"The secret of happiness is freedom. The secret of freedom is courage."

"We Greeks are lovers of the beautiful, yet simple in our tastes, and we cultivate the mind without loss of manliness."

"Men's indignation, it seems, is more excited by legal wrong than by violent wrong; the first looks like being cheated by an equal, the second like being compelled by a superior."

"Wars spring from unseen and generally insignificant causes, the first outbreak being often but an explosion of anger."

"Few things are brought to a successful issue by impetuous desire, but most by calm and prudent forethought."

"Ignorance is bold and knowledge reserved."

"Justice will not come to Athens until those who are not injured are as indignant as those who are injured."

"The secret to happiness is freedom... And the secret to freedom is courage."

"History is Philosophy teaching by example."

"We secure our friends not by accepting favors but by doing them."
