Ouch.

Allen

"Thrice happy is the nation that has a glorious history. Far better it
is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though
checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who
neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray
twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat."

Theodore Roosevelt

"...I would bee loath to pay him before his day. What needs I be so forward
with him, that call's not on me? Well, 'tis no matter, Honor pricks me on.
But how if Honour pricke me off when I come on? How then? Can Honour set
too a legge? No: or an arme? No: Or take away the greefe of a wound? No.
Honour hath no skill in Surgerie, then? No. What is honour? A word. What
is that word Honour? Ay A trim reckoning. Who hath it? He that dy'de a
Wednesday. Doth he feele it? No. Doth he heare it? No. Is it insensible
then? yea, to the dead. But wil it not liue with the liuing? No. Why?
Detraction wil not suffer it, therfore Ile none of it. Honour is a meere
Scutcheon, and so end my Catechisme."

Sir Iohn Falstaffe
