The experienced man trembles exceedingly at heart on its approach

Pindar, Fragment 110; page 377.
γλυκύ δ᾽ἀπείρῳ πόλεμος.
πεπειραμένων δέ τις ταρβεῖ προσιόντα νιν καρδία περισσῶς.


War is sweet to those who have no experience of it,
but the experienced man trembles exceedingly at heart on its approach.
