Creatures of a day, what is any one? What is he not? Man is but a dream of a shadow. Yet when there comes as a gift of heaven a gleam of sunshine, there rest upon men a radiant light and, aye, a gentle life.

A thing said walks in immortality if it has been said well.

To be envied is a nobler fate than to be pitied.

War is sweet for those who haven't experienced it.

Learn what you are and be such.

The noblest of the elements is water

War is sweet to them that know it not.
