Speaking of lists…During the Holocaust in Greece, the entire community of Jews of Zakynthos, numbering 275 people, was not deported after the Mayor and Bishop Chrysostomos refused Nazi orders to turn in a list of the town's Jewish community to go to death camps. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rescue_...

Our form of government does not enter into rivalry with the institutions of others. Our government does not copy our neighbors', but is an example to them. It is true that we are called a democracy, for the administration is in the hands of the many and not of the few. -Thucydides

Greek playwright Aeschylus, "Even in our sleep, pain which we cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.".

I have written my work, …as a possession for all time. The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must. Of the gods we believe, and of men we know, that by a necessary law of their nature they rule wherever they can. -Thucydides

From Thucydides:

For the true author of the subjugation of a people is not so much the immediate agent, as the power which permits it having the means to prevent it.
Book I, 69.
