He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. Is not life a hundred times too short for us to bore ourselves? – Friedrich Nietzsche
When I was young there was no respect for the young, and now that I am old there is no respect for the old. I missed out coming and going. – J. B. Priestley
Let us not listen to those who think we ought to be angry with our enemies, and who believe this to be great and manly. Nothing is so praiseworthy, nothing so clearly shows a great and noble soul, as clemency and readiness to forgive. – Marcus Tullius Cicero
