The world is but a perpetual see-saw.
Michel de Montaigne
The idea of the state is or should be a very limited prescribed idea. The state looks after the defense of the realm and other matters - raising revenue to pay for things which are for all of us and so on. That idea has turned turtle now. The state isn't any longer perceived as an institution which exists to serve us.
Tom Stoppard
If pleasures are greatest in anticipation just remember that this is also true of trouble.

William Makepeace Thackeray
The first duty of man is to conquer fear, he must get rid of it he cannot act till then.

Death is the king of this world: 'Tis his park where he breeds life to feed him. Cries of pain are music for his banquet.

All I'm gonna do is just go on and do what I feel.

The warrior's approach is to say "yes" to life: "yea" to it all.
