Idiot wind, blowing every time you open your mouth.

Patriotism is the last refuge to which a scoundrel clings.

And I'll know my song well before I start singing

I met a young man who was wounded in love, I met another man who was wounded in hatred.

For them that think death's honesty won't fall upon them naturally life sometimes must get lonely.
