Quote of the Day by Geoffrey Chaucer: Great literary quotes often survive centuries because they speak to truths that never fully disappear. Few writers understood human weakness, ambition, morality and contradiction better than Geoffrey Chaucer, the medieval poet whose observations about society still feel strikingly modern today. His words continue to resonate because it asks a difficult question about leadership, virtue and moral decay.
Chaucer’s words remain powerful because they suggest that if even the noblest among us can fall, ordinary people become even more vulnerable to weakness and decline.
