    “I have ever deemed it fundamental for the United States never to take active part in the quarrels of Europe. Their political interests are entirely distinct from ours. Their mutual jealousies, their balance of power, their complicated alliances, their forms and principles of government, are all foreign to us. They are nations of eternal war.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “I asked myself, “Is it going to prevent me from getting out of here? Is there a risk of death attached to it? Is it permanently disabling? Is it permanently disfiguring? Lastly, is it excruciating?” If it doesn’t fit one of those five categories, then it isn’t important.”
    —Rhonda Cornum, United States Army Major. As quoted in Newsweek magazine, “Perspectives” page (July 13, 1992)

    “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)
