* Pindar, a Thebian Greek wrote (circa 350 B.C.E.) War is sweet to those who have no experience of it. But the experienced man trembles exceedingly in his heart at its approach.
~ Pindar
Creatures of a day. What is someone? What is no one? Man is the dream of a shadow.
Creatures of a day, what is any one? What is he not? Man is but a dream of a shadow. Yet when there comes as a gift of heaven a gleam of sunshine, there rest upon men a radiant light and, aye, a gentle life.
Steer your boat with justice: forge A tongue on truth's anvil.
The present will not long endure.
Time in the turning-over of days works change for better or worse.
The test of any man lies in action.
May God ... let me strive for attainable things.
Learn what you are and be such.
Men are the dreams of a shadow.
Every gift which is given, even though it be small, is in reality great, if it is given with affection.
A graceful and honorable old age is the childhood of immortality.
