“Cry 'Havoc!,' and let slip the dogs of war.”
Julius Caesar • William Shakespeare“At the approach of danger there are always two voices that speak with equal force in the heart of man: one very reasonably tells the man to consider the nature of the danger and the means of avoiding it; the other even more reasonable says that it is too painful and harassing to think of the danger, since it is not a man's power to provide for everything and escape from the general march of events; and that it is therefore better to turn aside from the painful subject till it has come, and to think of what is pleasant. In solitude a man generally yields to the first voice; in society to the second.”
War and Peace • Leo Tolstoy“Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu““There will be no injustice in compelling our philosophers to have a care and providence of others.””
Republic • Plato““Oh, threats of Hell and Hopes of Paradise! / One thing at least is certain — This Life flies; / One thing is certain and the rest is Lies; / The Flower that once has blown for ever dies.””
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam • Omar Khayyam
