In this speech did Pericles endeavour to appease the anger of the Athenians towards himself and withal to withdraw their thoughts from the present affliction.  But they, though for the state in general they were won and sent to the Lacedaemonians no more but rather inclined to the war, yet they were everyone in particular grieved for their several losses; the poor because entering the war with little, they lost that little; and the rich because they had lost fair possessions, together with goodly houses and costly furniture in them, in the country; but the greatest matter of all was that they had war instead of peace.  And altogether, they deposed not their anger till they had first fined him [Pericles] in a sum of money.  Nevertheless, not long after (as is the fashion of the multitude) they made him general again and committed the whole state to his administration.  For the sense of their domestic losses was now dulled, and for the need of the commonwealth they prized him more than any other whatsoever.  For as long as he was in authority in the city in time of peace, he governed the same with moderation and was a faithful watchman of it; and in his time it was at the greatest.  And after the war was on foot, it is manifest that he therein also foresaw what it could do.  He lived after the war began two years and six months.  And his foresight in the war was best known after his death. 

– from The Peloponnesian War as written by Thucydides (5th century BC) and translated by Thomas Hobbes (1628) and edited by David Grene (1959)
