No one is really miserable who has not tried to cheapen life.
Be a life long or short, its completeness depends on what it was lived for
To say no at the right time, and then stand by it, is the first element of success. He is the wise man who, for all his life, can keep mind and soul and body clean.
Wisdom is knowing. Skill is know how to do it. Virtue is doing it.
Whatever you attempt, go at it with spirit.
All war is murder, robbery, trickery, and no nation ever escaped losses of men, prosperity and virility. War knows no victor.
