Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance. The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of. An apparently trivial indulgence in lust or anger today is the loss of a ridge or railway line or bridgehead from which the enemy may launch an attack otherwise impossible.

Courage is the ladder on which all the other virtues mount.

Clare Boothe Luce

To my mind Judas Iscariot was nothing but a low, mean, premature Congressman.

Mark Twain

Nothing is more dangerous in wartime than to live in the temperamental atmosphere of a Gallup Poll, always feeling ones pulse and taking ones temperature. I see that a speaker at the week-end said that this was a time when leaders should keep their ears to the ground. All I can say is that the British nation will find it very hard to look up to leaders who are detected in that somewhat ungainly posture.

Sir Winston Churchill

Ooh, tu tens um ar muito mais saboroso que o Crabbe e o Goyle, Harry

Wealth lost is something lost, honor lost is something lost: Courage lost all is lost.

Johann von Goethe

You've never lived until you've almost died, for those who fought for it, life has a flavor the protected will never know.

Anon., from Viet Nam, 1968

I'm convinced that Theoretical Physicist is just another way of saying BS Artist.

J.C. Cassels

A woman's guess is much more accurate than a man's certainty.

Rudyard Kipling

She lives the poetry she cannot write.

Oscar Wilde

Religion is inwardly focused and driven only to sustain itself.

Kary Mullis

The sluggard does not plow after the season, so he begs during the harvest and has nothing. Proverbs 20:4
