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.
Water is the best of all things.
War is sweet to them that know it not.
Even wisdom has to yield to self-interest.
Whatever is beautiful is beautiful by necessity
War is sweet to those who never tried it.
