    “A few more years will destroy whatever yet remains of that magical potency which once belonged to the name of Byron.”
    —Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)

    “Not marble nor the gilded monuments
    Of princes shall outlive this powerful rime;
    But you shall shine more bright in these contents
    Than unswept stone, besmeared with sluttish time.
    When wasteful war shall statues overturn,
    And broils root out the work of masonry,
    Nor Mars his sword nor war’s quick fire shall burn
    The living record of your memory.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “A peace is of the nature of a conquest,
    For then both parties nobly are subdued,
    And neither party loser.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
