‘We have fought such a fight for a day and a night
As may never be fought again!
We have won great glory, my men!

At sea or ashore,
We die—does it matter when?”

Do cream and mantle like a standing pond,
And do a willful stillness entertain,
With purpose to be dressed in an opinion
Of wisdom, gravity, profound conceit,
As who should say, “I am Sir Oracle,
And when I ope my lips let no dog bark!””
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“What you fail to understand is the power of hate. It can fill the heart as surely as love can.”
