    “All it means, if you wilt that way with a lady, is that you haven’t yet really met her. You’re not trying to make love to a woman, you’re trying not to miss an opportunity.”
    —Clive James (b. 1939)

    “Earth that bore with joyful ease
    Hemlock for Socrates,
    Earth that blossomed and was glad
    ‘Neath the cross that Christ had,
    Shall rejoice and blossom too
    When the bullet reaches you.”
    —Charles Hamilton Sorley (1895–1915)

    “We shall make mistakes, but they must never be mistakes which result from faintness of heart or abandonment of moral principles. I remember that my old school master Dr. Peabody said in days that seemed to us then to be secure and untroubled, he said things in life will not always run smoothly, sometimes we will be rising toward the heights and all will seem to reverse itself and start downward. The great thing to remember is that the trend of civilization itself is forever upward.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
