True. I should have said, "quotes from the Roman era."

Although he managed to hang around in Italy with his army long enough that he could probably have qualified as a naturalized citizen....

Peace isn't something you fight for. It is something you beg for. Don't forget your knee pads. Freedom is what you fight for.

I suspect that there are just two sorts of lawyers: those who spend the efforts making life easy for other people – and parasites.

Man is not a rational animal; he is a rationalizing animal

there is nothing wrong with being scared. . . as long as you don’t let it affect you until the danger is over. Being hysterical is okay, too … afterwards and in private. Tears are not unmanly… in the bathroom with the door locked. The difference between a coward and a brave man is mostly a matter of timing.

Robert Heinlein



I have a higher and grander Standard of principle than George Washington. He could not Lie; I can, but I won’t.

Mark Twain



Just a few of my favorites.

A great fortune is a great slavery.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca

A great mind becomes a great fortune.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Therefore, a great mind becomes a great slavery.
