It is better to watch people do stuff than to do stuff.

We cannot all hope to combine the pleasing qualities of good looks, brains, and eloquence.

A gun is not a weapon! It's a tool, like a butcher's knife, or a harpoon, or an alligator.

Like the generations of leaves, the lives of mortal men. Now the wind scatters the old leaves across the earth, now the living timber bursts with the new buds and spring comes round again. And so with men: as one generation comes to life, another dies away.

How prone to doubt, how cautious are the wise!

Come, weave us a scheme so I can pay them back! Stand beside me, Athena, fire me with daring, fierce as the day we ripped Troy's glittering crown of towers down. Stand by me - furious now as then, my bright-eyed one - and I would fight three hundred men, great goddess, with you to brace me, comrade-in-arms in battle!

Two friends, two bodies with one soul inspired.
