Quote examples
Theodor Mommsen
German Historian
The Dalmatian tribes and the Pannonians, at least of the region of the Save, for a short time obeyed the Roman governors; but they bore the new rule with an ever increasing grudge, above all on account of the taxes, to which they were unaccustomed, and which were relentlessly exacted.
Quote examples
Florence Nightingale
English Activist

Quote examples
Alexander the Great
Leader

Quote examples
Annie Besant
English Philosopher
