“Rash combat oft immortalizes man; if he should fall, he is renowned in song; but after-ages reckon not the ceaseless tears which the forsaken woman sheds.

“The romantic myth is so strong that it survives the wear and tear of marriage by simply detaching from it and floating up on ahead, and women who are rather fond of the men they married, as well as ones who are not, go through life with a bag packed for the day when the shining knight on a white charger arrives, just in case he does.” MenWellsDoeRomanceStrongWhiteCasesTearsHe ManMarriedShiningMythBagsFloatingKnights Book:Some Men Are More Perfect Than Others Source: Some Men Are More Perfect Than Others
“I lifted the white cloth from the white face of the man that I had worshipped as an idol-looked upon as a demi-god. Notwithstanding the violence of the death of the President, there was something beautiful as well as grandly solemn in the expression of the placid face.

Loyalty is the great lubricant of life. It saves the wear and tear of making daily decisions as to what is best to do. The man who is loyal to his work is not wrung nor perplexed by doubts, he sticks to the ship, and if the ship founders he goes down like a hero with colors flying at the masthead and the band playing."” IfsMenArtDecisionEffortCompanySuccessfulDoubtTearsColorHe ManHeroBandPaperTasksSticksRaisedLoyaltyFlyingShipsPlanesOne TimeLoyalFoundersPerplexed Author:Thomas Watson
