“a notable prince that was called King John;
And he ruled England with main and with might,
For he did great wrong, and maintained little right.”

“In some unused lagoon, some nameless bay,
On sluggish, lonesome waters, anchor’d near the shore,
An old, dismasted, gray and batter’d ship, disabled, done,
After free voyages to all the seas of earth, haul’d up at last and
hawser’d tight,
Lies rusting, mouldering.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“The fastest foot climbs to the top first.”
—Chinese proverb.
