“There is a virtue, Simmias, which is named courage. Is not that a special attribute of the philosopher? ...Again, there is temperance. Is not the calm, and control, and disdain of the passions which even the many call temperance, a quality belonging only to those who despise the body and live in philosophy?”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realise that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events. Antiquated War Offices, weak, incompetent, or arrogant Commanders, untrustworthy allies, hostile neutrals, malignant Fortune, ugly surprises, awful miscalculations — all take their seats at the Council Board on the morrow of a declaration of war.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“Let the punishment match the offense.”
On The Laws • Marcus Tullius Cicero“First kiss does the trick. The propitious moment. Something inside them goes pop.”
Ulysses • James Joyce“That's the nature of women ... not to love when we love them, and to love when we love them not.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes
