Let me have war, say I; it exceeds peace as far as day does night; it's spritely, waking, audible, and full of vent.
William ShakespeareNot from the stars do I my judgement pluck, And yet methinks I have astronomy. But not to tell of good or evil luck, Of plagues, of dearths, or season's quality; Nor can I fortune to brief minutes tell ... Or say with princes if it shall go well.
William Shakespeare
