“…The more enormous our wealth, the more extensive our fears, all our possessions are paled up with new edicts every day, and hung round with gibbets to scare every invader.”

“Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.”

“Every absurdity has a champion to defend it.”

“Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey/Where wealth accumulates and men decay”

“He who fights and runs awayMay live to fight another day...”

“The first time I read an excellent book, it is to me just as if I had gained a new friend. When I read a book over I have perused before, it resembles the meeting with an old one.”

“He who fights and runs away May live to fight another day; But he who is battle slain Can never rise to fight again.”
