    The force that through the green fuse drives the flower

    Is my destroyer.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Courage, of all national qualities, is the most precarious; because it is exerted only at intervals, and by a few in every nation; whereas industry, knowledge, civility, may be of constant and universal use, and for several ages, may become habitual to the whole people.
