in killing his brother and his own kind,
putting him in jail and insane asylums,
letting him lay out in the street.

many persons he is glad he doesn't know.

of thought is unhappy until he can
get out of it.

dragon, but not about a man pushing a
button that releases a bomb.

Mae West

A dame that knows the ropes isn't likely to get tied up.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Let us be silent that we may
hear the whispers of the gods.

William Shakespeare

A peace is of the nature of a conquest;
for then both parties nobly are subdued,
and neither party loser.
