“Inaction is cowardice, but there can be no scholar without the heroic mind.”

“The man who fights against his own country is never a hero.”

“Comerado, this is no book,Who touches this, touches a man,(Is it night? Are we here alone?)It is I you hold, and who holds you,I spring from the pages into your arms-decease calls me forth.”

“For 'Tis not in mere death that men die most.”
