    To speak impartially, the best men that I know are not serene, a world in themselves. For the most part, they dwell in forms, and flatter and study effect only more finely than the rest.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    It takes twenty years or more of peace to make a man; it takes only twenty seconds of war to destroy him.
    Baudouin I (b. 1930)
