All delays are dangerous in war.
Drinking is the soldier's pleasure.
Not Heav'n itself upon the past has pow'r; But what has been, has been, and I have had my hour.
For secrets are edged tools, And must be kept from children and from fools.
Treason is greatest where trust is greatest.
Errors like straws upon the surface flow, Who would search for pearls to be grateful for often must dive below.
