“It is tragic to have to realize that the best I had to give as a soldier, obedience, and loyalty, was exploited for purposes which could not be recognized at the time, and that I did not see that there is a limit set even for a soldier's performance to his duty.

“Enter upon thy paths, O year! Thy paths, which all who breathe must tread, Which lead the Living to the Dead, I enter; for it is my doom To tread thy labyrinthine gloom; To note who round me watch and wait; To love a few; perhaps to hate; And do all duties of my fate.” YearsHateWaitingWatchesPathFateDutyNotesRoundsBreatheDoomGloom Author:Bryan Procter
“It is man's duty to live in conformity with the divine will, and this means, firstly, bringing his life into line with 'nature's laws', and secondly, resigning himself completely and uncomplainingly to whatever fate may send him. Only by living thus, and not setting too high a value on things which can at any moment be taken away from him, can he discover that true, unshakeable peace and contentment to which ambition, luxury and above all avarice are among the greatest obstacles.” MenMayMeanMomentsLawValuesLinesTakenFateDivineDutyAmbitionObstaclesSettingSettingsLuxuryContentmentConformityAvariceGreatest ObstaclesDivine WillResigning Author:Seneca the Younger

“An Irish Airman foresees his Death I Know that I shall meet my fate Somewhere among the clouds above; Those that I fight I do not hate Those that I guard I do not love, My country is Kiltartan Cross, My countrymen Kiltartan’s poor, No likely end could bring them loss Or leave them happier than before. Nor law, nor duty bade me fight, Nor public man, nor cheering crowds, A lonely impulse of delight Drove to this tumult in the clouds; I balanced all, brought all to mind, The years to come seemed waste of breath, A waste of breath the years behind In balance with this life, this death.” KnowsMenYearsMindEndsCountryLawHateFightingLossPoorBehindsFateDutyBalanceWasteCrossesLonelyBreathsCloudsCrowdsDelightThis LifeImpulseCheerBalancedCountrymenTumultAirmen Author:William Butler Yeats
