“Sacrifice counts for a lot in sport. From a young age, I couldn't do the normal things that the boys of my age get to do.

“So avoid using the word 'very' because it's lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don't use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason, boys - to woo women - and, in that endeavor, laziness will not do. It also won't do in your essays. What you do today is important, because you are sacrificing a day of your life for it. Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.” MenImportantReasonUseTodayLanguageCan DoBoysSacrificeTiredHarmLazyEndeavorLazinessExhaustedEssaysVesselAcidVery SadMorose Author:Mark Twain

“Meditation upon death does not teach one how to die; it does not make the departure more easy, but ease is not what I seek. Beloved boy, so willful and brooding, your sacrifice will have enriched not my life but my death. ... Centuries as yet unborn within the dark womb of time would pass by thousands over that tomb without restoring life to him, but likewise without adding to his death, and without changing the fact that he had been.” DoeFactsDiesEasyDarkBoysTeachMeditationSacrificeCenturyEaseBelovedWombTombsUnbornDepartureRestoringBrooding Author:Marguerite Yourcenar
