“Do not forget that a traitor within our ranks, known to us, can do more harm to the enemy than a loyal man can do good to us.”
“why do our enemies shape us more than our friends?”
“When our actions do not, our fears do make us traitors”
“Any man may easily do harm, but not every man can do good to another.”
“Most of us are ready to greet our worst enemies like long-lost brothers if we think they can show us a good time, if we think they can do us any good or if we even reach the conclusion that being polite will get us just as far and help us live longer.”
“There is more beauty than our eyes can bear, precious things have been put into our hands and to do nothing to honor them is to do great harm.”
