It is our duty still to endeavor to avoid war; but if it shall actually take place, no matter by whom brought on, we must defend ourselves. If our house be on fire, without inquiring whether it was fired from within or without, we must try to extinguish it.
Thomas Jefferson

I find that he is happiest of whom the world says least, good or bad.

Aristotle

No one loves the man whom he fears.
Aristotle

There is one kind of robber whom the law does not strike at, and who steals what is most precious to men: time.

Oscar Wilde

Those whom the gods love grow young.
Oscar Wilde
