    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Don’t worry about a sugar planter. Give him a horse and he’ll ride to his own funeral.”
    —Curtis Siodmak (1902–1988)

    “He all their ammunition
    And feats of war defeats
    With plain heroic magnitude of mind
    And celestial vigour armed;”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
