The Old Mage's Corner
Gentles all... Anthos the Traveler has asked me to present a selection of quotes from various notable figures of your world, mine, and anywhere, -when, or -else the dear lad can think of. I couldn't be happier to do so... I may be "casting pearls before swine" as they say in this world and others, but this is for the lad's benefit as well as anyone else's.
"The more you love, the more you can love and the more intensely you love. Nor is there any limit on how many you can love. If a person had time enough, he could love all of that majority who are decent and just."
--Robert A. Heinlein
"A pint of sweat will save a gallon of blood."
-General George S. Patton
"Fixed fortifications are a monument to the stupidity of man. Anything that can be built by man, can be destroyed by him."
-General George S. Patton
"May God have mercy on my enemies, because I sure as hell won't."
-General George S. Patton
"I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs, but by how high he bounces when he hits bottom."
-General George S. Patton
"You have enemies? Good... that means you stood up for something, sometime in your life."

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts."
-Mark Twain
"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings."

"A day may come when the courage of Men fails... when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day! An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the age of Man comes crashing down! But it is NOT this day!"
-Aragorn, Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
"Perhaps it is fate that today is the 4th of July, and we will once again be fighting for our freedom. Not from tyrrany, opression or persecution; but from anihillation. We're fighting for our right to live, to exist. And should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday- but as the day the world cried out in one voice 'we will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on, we're going to survive! Today, we celebrate our Independance Day!'"
-President Whitmore, Independance Day
More to come, gentles. *puffs on his pipe* Please be patient.
Folks seem to like me.
