    “He stood, a soldier, to the last right end,
    A perfect patriot and a noble friend,
    But most a virtuous son.
    All offices were done
    By him, so ample, full, and round
    In weight in measure, number, sound,
    As, though his age imperfect might appear,
    His life was of humanity the sphere.”
    —Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

    “While it is generally agreed that the visible expressions and agencies are necessary instruments, civilization seems to depend far more fundamentally upon the moral and intellectual qualities of human beings—upon the spirit that animates mankind.”
    —Mary Ritter Beard (1876–1958)

    “Sebastian. He is drunk now. Where had he wine?
    Alonzo. And Trinculo is reeling ripe. Where should they
    Find this grand liquor that hath gilded ‘em?”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “No direct hit to smash the shatter-proof
    And lodge at last the quivering needle
    Clean in the eye of one who stands transfixed
    In fascination of her brightness.”
    —Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    “All’s oblique;
    There’s nothing level in our cursed natures
    But direct villainy. Therefore be abhorred
    All feasts, societies, and throngs of men!”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
