Only the mediocre are always at their best. - Jean Giraudoux

Born enemies don't fight. Nations you would say were designed to go to war against each other — by their skins, their language, their smell: always jealous of each other, always hating each other — they're not the ones who fight. You will find the real antagonists in nations fate has groomed and made ready for the same war.

The secret of success is sincerity. Once you can fake that you've got it made.

As soon as war is declared it will be impossible to hold the poets back. Rhyme is still the most effective drum.
