    “And as my wit doth best devise,
    Love’s dwelling is in ladies’ eyes,
    From whence do glance love’s piercing darts,
    That make such holes into our hearts;
    And all the world herein accord,
    Love is a great and mighty lord;”

    “If it be aught toward the general good,
    Set honor in one eye, and death i’th’ other,
    And I will look on both indifferently;
    For let the gods so speed me as I love
    The name of honor more than I fear death.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “We are at war with the most dangerous enemy that has ever faced mankind in his long climb from the swamp to the stars, and it has been said if we lose that war, and in so doing lose this way of freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment that those who had the most to lose did the least to prevent its happening.”
    —Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
