Quotes from the same author

Here, therefore, huge and mighty warrior though you be, here shall you die.
O Friends, be men, and let your hearts be strong And let no warrior in the heat of fight, Do what may bring him shame in others' eyes
once it slips through a man's clenched teeth.
And twins ev'n from the birth are Misery and Man!
Men grow tired of sleep, love, singing and dancing sooner than of war.
