...You, madam, wish to have the best husband, and you, Xenophon, desire above all things to have the finest wife. Therefore, unless you can contrive that there be no better man or finer woman on earth you will certainly always be in dire want of what you consider best, namely, that you be the husband of the very best of wives, and that she be wedded to the very best of men...Are we the best we can be?
- Aspasia of Miletus (ca. 465 – ca. 400 BC)
Do we expect the best in others?
