“I feel an army in my fist.”

Life did not present its sunny side to thee.

Of all the possessions of this life fame is the noblest; when the body has sunk into the dust the great name still lives.

Courage, ne’er by sorrow broken! Aid where tears of virtue flow; Faith to keep each promise spoken! Truth alike to friend and foe!

The lemonade is weak, like your soul.

Chains of iron or of silk-both are chains.

Deeper meaning resides in the fairy tales told to me in my childhood than in the truth that is taught by life.

It is only through the morning gate of the beautiful that you can penetrate into the realm of knowledge. That which we feel here as beauty we shall one day know as truth.

Disappointments are to the soul what a thunderstorm is to the air.

There is more to life than just existing and having a pleasant time.

It does not prove a thing to be right because the majority say it is so.

Thus Arm in Arm with thee I dare defy my century into the lists.

Be true, and thou shalt fetter time with everlasting chain.

A virtuous name is the precious only good, for which queens and peasants’ wives must contest together.

The worst of me is known, and I can say that I am better than the reputation I bear.

Heaven and earth fight in vain against a dunce!

Lose not yourself in a far off time, seize the moment that is thine.

From when I was a young boy, I read books on weapons and tanks and combat. I was so interested in the army.

The new government had no money to pay for an army, so they relied on the state militias.

No army can withstand the strength of an idea whose time has come.

f you don’t respect our troops, you can’t lead them.

The brave men and women of our Armed Forces represent the very best of our great Nation, matched only by the families who walk beside them in their service.

When your army has crossed the border, you should burn your boats and bridges, in order to make it clear to everybody that you have no hankering after home.

Taxes are the source of life for the bureaucracy, the army and the court, in short, for the whole apparatus of the executive power. Strong government and heavy taxes are identical.

A man strikes you, make him bleed. He makes you bleed, you break his bones. He breaks your bones, kill him. Being hit is inevitable, strike back twice as hard.
