Bleach the bones of comrades slain,
Lovely lads and dead and rotten;
None that go return again.”

“It matters little comparatively whether the fields fill the farmer’s barn. The true husbandman will cease from anxiety, as the squirrels manifest no concern whether the woods will bear chestnuts this year or not, and finish his labor with every day, relinquishing all claim to the produce of his fields, and sacrificing in his mind not only his first but his last fruits also.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“I never vote for anyone. I always vote against.”
—W.C. Fields (1879–1946)
