Necessity--thou best of peacemakers, As well as surest prompter of invention.

It is surprising what a man can do when he has to, and how little most men will do when they don't have to.

It's not like an absolute necessity.

One hour of life, crowded to the full with glorious action, and filled with noble risks, is worth whole years of those mean observances of paltry decorum.

Discretion is being able to raise your eyebrow instead of your voice.

High minds, of native pride and force, Most deeply feel thy pangs, Remorse; Fear, for their scourge, means villains have, Thou art the torturer of the brave!
