It is not always the same thing to be a good man and a good citizen.
I have a theory that the truth is never told during the nine-to-five hours.

We succeed only as we identify in life, or in war, or in anything else, a single overriding objective, and make all other considerations bend to that one objective.
Life is divided into the horrible and the miserable.
