Not too long after the 9-11 attacks (months, perhaps), I recall
reading a quote to the effect of, that we should be thankful for our
enemies because they teach us humility and so on. I think it was in
Harper's Magazine as the headline quote preceding Lewis Lapham's
monthly editorial. As I recall, it was of classical Greek provenance.
What is the quote, and who said it? Cassette Books 1996 National Library Service For The Blind And No::

I don't remember anything about "tranquility" in the quote. As I
recall, it specifically said either "humility" or "humbleness" or
perhaps "free us from hubris" or the like. Of course, if it was
ancient Greek, translations can vary.
Was the quote you mention in Harper's Magazine in late 2001 or early
2002? (Perhaps verifiable by a Nexis search.) If so, perhaps I am
simply mis-remembering the quote.
Thanks. Christianism - Addition 34::
