L. Frank Baum (1856-1919)
Friendless, adj.: Having no favors to bestow. Destitute of fortune. Addicted to utterance of truth and common sense.
Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)
Novels so often provide an anodyne and not an antidote, glide one into torpid slumbers instead of rousing one with a burning brand.
Virginia Woolf (1882-1941)
The fortunes of war more than any other are liable to frequent fluctuations.
Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616)
A just fear of an imminent danger, though there be no blow given, is a lawful cause of war.
Francis Bacon (1561-1626)
The world is full of willing people, some willing to work, the others willing to let them.
American poet Robert Frost
