Sweet is war to those who know it not.
I will not steep my speech in lies; the test of any man lies in action.
War is sweet to those who never tried it.
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.
Men are the dreams of a shadow.
Water is best, but gold shines like fire blazing in the night, supreme of lordly wealth.
