“O how wretched
Is that poor man that hangs on princes’ favours!
There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to,
That sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin,
More pangs and fears than wars or women have,
And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer,
Never to hope again.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

—Quoted in Fourth Leaders from the Times (1950)
““... War on the destiny of man!
Doom on the sun!”
Before death takes you, O take back this.”
