Passages for meditation today

“I love not those who love in words alone.” -Antigone in the play of the same name by Sophocles. H.D.F. Kitto, translator

“The study of history is the best medicine for a sick mind; for in history you have a record of the infinite variety of human experience plainly set out for all to see; and in that record you can find for yourself and your country both examples and warnings…” -Ab urbe condita by Livy. Aubrey de Sélincourt, translator

I know the first passage is true. I am less sure about the second.
