Additional quotes by Thomas Babington Macaulay, 1st Baron Macaulay

Soon fades the spell, soon comes the night:
Say will it not be then the same,
Whether we played the black or white,
Whether we lost or won the game?

And how can man die better
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
And the temples of his gods.
