Famous quotes containing the words born and/or century:

    “Our culture, therefore, must not omit the arming of the man. Let him hear in season, that he is born into the state of war, and that the commonwealth and his own well-being require that he should not go dancing in the weeds of peace, but warned, self- collected, and neither defying nor dreading the thunder, let him take both reputation and life in his hand, and, with perfect urbanity, dare the gibbet and the mob by the absolute truth of his speech, and the rectitude of his behaviour.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The quality of decision is like the well-timed swoop of a falcon which enables it to strike and destroy its victim.”
    —Sun Tzu (6–5th century B.C.)
