"Our prospective opponent has always started operations by attacking before a declaration of war."
"All I want to know is where I’m going to die so I’ll never go there"
"I could expect hard work, plenty of danger, and no recognition."
How Stoicism Saved a Prisoner of War
By Cicero
"Always carry a book..."
"It is not the critic who counts."
"In any massive failure there are a host of smaller errors..."
"Tranquility lies in not undertaking tasks..."
"It’s not when you get up that matters."
"Liquidate them by the time my margarita arrives."

"Opportunities abound in bad times as well as good times"
"When the frontiers existed, we could test ourselves against it"
"Surround yourself — and limit yourself — to people you trust."

"They live a long life," he wrote, "and rarely fall sick."
