“It seemed to me that all things were possible on the island, all tyrannies and cruelties, though in small; and if, in despite of what was possible, we lived at peace with another, surely this was proof that certain laws unknown to us held sway, or else that we had been following the promptings of our hearts all this time, and our hearts had not betrayed us.”
“The chief proof of man's real greatness lies in his perception of his own smallness.”
“In peace, as a wise man, he should make suitable preparation for war.”
“It seems to be that loneliness is a small price to pay for peace and quiet.”
“At time of peace, we should love one another.At war, we should set our minds as the hunters.”
