“A magazine editor recently asked me to sit down on my 40th birthday and write an article on the most important things I had learned in my first 40 years. I told him that the chief thing I had learned was that the copybook maxims are true, but that too many people forget this once they go out into the heat and hustle and bustle of the battle of life and only realize their truth once one foot is beginning to slip into the grave. The man who has won millions at the cost of his conscience is a failure.” PeopleMenWritingYearsFirstsImportantRealizingForgetMillionsFeetHe ManBattleCostConscienceImportant ThingsGravesMagazinesChiefsHeatEditorsArticlesSlipsMaximsHustleBustle40th BirthdayBattle Of LifeHustle And BustleMagazine Editors Author:B.

“We are foolish to expect to serve God without opposition: the more zealous we are, the more sure are we to be assailed... Glory be to God, we know the end of the war. The great dragon shall be cast out and for ever destroyed, while Jesus and they who are with him shall receive the crown. Let us sharpen our swords to-night, and pray the Holy Spirit to nerve our arms for the conflict. Never battle so important, never crown so glorious.

“Australia is this former British colony at the foot of Asia. We've been involved - we've been in lockstep with America in every battle you have fought for a century. We were there in Vietnam.

We are slightly apprehensive about the rise of China.” AmericaFeetCenturyInvolvedBattleIraqChinaBritishFormerAustraliaAfghanistanVietnamAsiaKoreaColonyRise Of China Author:Richard Glover
“Shadowfax tossed his head and cried aloud, as if a trumpet had summoned him to battle. Then he sprang forward. Fire flew from his feet; night rushed over him. As he fell slowly into sleep, Pippin had a strange feeling: he and Gandalf were still as stone, seated upon the statue of a running horse, while the world rolled away beneath his feet with a great noise of wind.” IfsWorldStillsFeelingsRunningNightSleepFireFeetStrangeWindBattleStonesHorseNoiseCriedStatuesFlewTrumpetsPippin Book:The Lord of the Rings: One Volume Source: The Lord of the Rings: One Volume
“This was like July 13th, 1943, the pivotal day of the Battle of the Kursk. We were like Alexander Vasilevsky, the Soviet general. If we attacked now, this minute, we had to keep on and on attacking until the enemy was run off his feet and the war was won. If we bogged down or paused for breath even for a second, we would be overrun again.” IfsWarWould BeRunningEnemyFeetMinutesBattleBreathsSovietAttackingJulyPivotal Author:Lee Child

“Suddenly self-conscious, she shifted from one booted foot to the other. "I asked the cloud for battle-ready clothing, and this is what I got.

“Ghosts of melodious prophesyings rave Round every spot where trod Apollo's foot; Bronze clarions awake, and faintly bruit, Where long ago a giant battle was; And, from the turf, a lullaby doth pass In every place where infant Orpheus slept. Feel we these things? - that moment have we stept Into a sort of oneness, and our state Is like a floating spirit's. But there are Richer entanglements, enthralments far More self-destroying, leading, by degrees, To the chief intensity: the crown of these Is made of love and friendship, and sits high Upon the forehead of humanity.” LifeFeelsLongMadeSelfStatesMomentsSpiritHumanityFeetBattleDegreesRoundsGhostSpotsOnenessChiefsAwakeGiantsThat MomentIntensityDestroyingCrownsLong AgoFloatingInfantApolloForeheadsLove And FriendshipBronzeLullabyRaveTurfEntanglementOrpheus Author:John Keats
