“They sent forth men to battle, But no such men return; And home, to claim their welcome, Come ashes in an urn”

“When people speak of great men, they think of men like Napoleon - men of violence. Rarely do they think of peaceful men. But contrast the reception they will receive when they return home from their battles. Napoleon will arrive in pomp and in power, a man who's achieved the very summit of earthly ambition. And yet his dreams will be haunted by the oppressions of war. William Wilberforce, however, will return to his family, lay his head on his pillow and remember: the slave trade is no more.”

“I sent out words like soldiers to battle and they never returned.”

“Where are our Men of abilities? Why do they not come forth to save their Country?”

“A (wo)men travels the world over in search of wht (s)he needs and returns home to find it”

“the greatest men that ever live pass away unknown. they put forth no claims for themselves, establish no schools of systems in their name. they never create or stir but just melt down into love”
