Сторінка 69 - True eloquence consists in saying all that is necessary, and nothing but what is necessary.
Сторінка 26 - War is honourable In those who do their native rights maintain ; In those whose swords an iron barrier are Between the lawless spoiler and the weak : But is in those who draw th' offensive blade For added power or gain, sordid and despicable As meanest office of the worldly churl.
