![“...for our wisdom is better than the strength of men or of horses. ... nor is it right to prefer strength to excellent wisdom. For if there should be in the city [any athlete whose skill] is honoured more than strength ... the city would not on that account be any better governed.” quote by Xenophanes](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/e65/xenophanes-16062_accounts_for-our-wisdom-is-better-than-the-streng_36482.jpg)
