“To break a treaty is contempt for the gods. But to outwit an enemy is not only just and glorious-but profitable and sweet.”
“Though boys throw stones at frogs in sport, the frogs do not die in sport, but in earnest.” Bion of Borysthenes
Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities because as has been said, it is the quality which guarantees all others. Winston Churchill
Death and sorrow will be the companions of our journey; hardship our garment; constancy and valor our only shield. We must be united, we must be undaunted, we must be inflexible. Winston Churchill
“But there is good and reason in us, in human beings, with whom fortune plays, and we can be stronger than nature and fate, if only for a few hours. And we can draw close to one another in times of need, understand and love one another, and live to comfort each other. And sometimes, when the black depths are silent, we can do even more. We can then be gods for moments, stretch out a commanding hand and create things which were not there before and which, when they are created, continue to live without us.” Hermann Hesse
