Shakespeare
“When words are scarce they are seldom spent in vain”
“Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none;
be able for thine enemy rather in power than use;
and keep thy friend under thine own life's key;
be checked for silence, but never taxed for speech”

Karel Capek
"There are many things in life more worthwhile than money. One is to be brought up in this our England which is still the envy of less happy lands."

"Bind her, grind her, burn her with fire, Cast her ashes into the sea,-- She shall escape, she shall aspire, She shall arise to make men free; She shall arise in a sacred scorn, Lighting the lives that are yet unborn, Spirit supernal, splendor eternal, England!"
Helen Gray Cone
"England with all thy faults, I love thee still-- My country! and, while yet a nook is left Where English minds and manners may be found, Shall be constrained to love thee."

"Some party hack decreed that the people
had lost the government's confidence
and could only regain it with redoubled effort.
If that is the case, would it not be be simpler,
If the government simply dissolved the people
And elected another?" Bertolt Brecht

You Are 4% Sociopath
You're empathetic, loyal, and introspective.
In other words, there's no way you're a sociopath... but you can spot one pretty easily!
You're contemplative, thoughtful, and very intense.
Taking time to figure out the meaning of life is a priority for you.
Because you're so introspective, you often react in ways that surprise people.
No one can really understand how you are on the inside... and that disturbs them.
""And in that day the Lord will extend His hand yet a second time to recover
the remnant which is left...and of his people from the isles of the seas." (Isaiah 11, 11)
"They that have the power to hurt, and will do none; they rightly do inherit heaven's graces" - Sonnet 94
“True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.” - Arthur Ashe
“If Heaven is about to entrust an important mission to a man, it begins by filling his heart with bitterness and by confusing his powers of perception and overturning his plans. It forces him to exert his bone and muscle. It forces him to endure hunger and all manner of sufferings. When the man emerges triumphantly over all these trials and tribulations, he is then capable of accomplishing what would have been impossible for him to do before.” - Mencius VI;2;15
"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power. " - Abraham Lincoln
