It is a painful thing to look at your own trouble and know that you yourself and no one else has made it.
Sophocles
Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing, it was here first.
Mark Twain
A man should never be ashamed to own that he has been in the wrong, which but saying.....that he is wiser today than yesterday.
Johnathan swift
We sleep safely in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.
George Orwell
War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and partiotic feeling which thinks that nothings is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing he cares about more than his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
John Stuart Mill
