There are hurdles, there are handicaps, hardships you have to face in life, but you hope for a great future.

The tragedy of modern war is that the young men die fighting each other - instead of their real enemies back home in the capitals.

Edward Abbey

Life is only precious because it ends, kid. Take it from a god. You mortals don't know how lucky you are

Rick Riordan

If I'm playing in the morning, I'll get some carbs early: porridge with chopped banana. If I'm playing in the afternoon, I'll start with less carbs and have some eggs and fruit for breakfast, then a light lunch about 90 minutes before I play, so I don't feel sluggish or full.

Rory McIlroy

Ever from one who comes to-morrow Men wait their good and truth to borrow.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Loss and possession, death and life are one, There falls no shadow where there shines no sun.

Hilaire Belloc

We too often forget that not only is there a soul of goodness in things evil, but very generally also, a soul of truth in things erroneous.

Herbert Spencer

I do not hold that we should rearm in order to fight. I hold that we should rearm in order to parley.

Sir Winston Churchill

The Dove, on silver pinions, winged her peaceful way.

James Montgomery

Remaining for a moment with the question of legality and illegality: United Nations Security Council Resolution 1368, unanimously passed, explicitly recognized the right of the United States to self-defense and further called upon all member states 'to bring to justice the perpetrators, organizers and sponsors of the terrorist attacks. It added that 'those responsible for aiding, supporting or harboring the perpetrators, organizers and sponsors of those acts will be held accountable.' In a speech the following month, the United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan publicly acknowledged the right of self-defense as a legitimate basis for military action. The SEAL unit dispatched by President Obama to Abbottabad was large enough to allow for the contingency of bin-Laden's capture and detention. The naïve statement that he was 'unarmed' when shot is only loosely compatible with the fact that he was housed in a military garrison town, had a loaded automatic weapon in the room with him, could well have been wearing a suicide vest, had stated repeatedly that he would never be taken alive, was the commander of one of the most violent organizations in history, and had declared himself at war with the United States. It perhaps says something that not even the most casuistic apologist for al-Qaeda has ever even attempted to justify any of its 'operations' in terms that could be covered by any known law, with the possible exception of some sanguinary verses of the Koran.

Christopher Hitchens

Moderate profits fill the purse.
