For the whole earth is the tomb of famous men; not only are they commemorated by columns and inscriptions in their own country, but in foreign lands there dwells also an unwritten memorial of them, graven not on stone but in the hearts of men.

Trees, though they are cut and loped, grow up again quickly, but if men are destroyed, it is not easy to get them again

Just because you are not interested in politics, does not mean that politics is not interested in you.

Remember, too, that if your country has the greatest name in all the world, it is because she never bent before disaster; because she has expended more life and effort in war than any other city, and has won for herself a power greater than any hitherto known, the memory of which will descend to the latest posterity.

The whole earth is the tomb of heroic men and their story is not given only on stone over their clay but abides everywhere without visible symbol woven into the stuff of other mens lives.

Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you!

Future ages will wonder at us, as the present age wonders at us now.
