You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think. Book II

By any other name would smell as sweet. Romeo and Juliet

It takes more courage to make an end than to make a new verse: all physicians and poets know that. Thus Spoke Zarathustra

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!
