Here dead lie we because we did not choose to live and shame the land from which we sprung. Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose; but young men think it is, and we were young.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The reason for the sadness of this modern age and the men who live in it is that it looks for the truth in everything and finds it.
When men come to like a sea-life, they are not fit to live on land.
We were young, we were foolish, we were arrogant, but we were right.
The possession of land seems to be a greater gratification to the pride and independence of men.
The truth is that we live out our lives putting off all that can be put off; perhaps we all know deep down that we are immortal and that sooner or later all men will do and know all things.
We lost because we told ourselves we lost.
Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young.
We are men of action, lies do not become us.
The lie is a condition of life.
Never was it given to mortal man - To lie so boldly as we women can.
