I have the greatest respect for people who know when to quit... There's nothing more pathetic than people who refuse to give up an obviously lost cause.

Their pitiful little band was no match for the power of Persia. Take that Greeks! As you can tell I am a Xerxes fan. ;D
I love fickle loyalties. All great ancient battles were decided by the local goat herder who knew the secret path around the enemy's defences.
And now for a quote! "Wait until it is night before saying that is has been a fine day." French Proverb
Which death is preferably to every other? ''The unexpected'' Julius Caesar Not the best thing to say, some people might take it literally
"Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest? Henry II And what did I say about being taken literally... *hack* *hack* dead Beckett. ;D

I know we've already done Shakespeare but I really like this quote:
"If we shadows have offended, Think but this, and all is mended, That you have but slumber'd here While these visions did appear. And this weak and idle theme, No more yielding but a dream, Gentles, do not reprehend: if you pardon, we will mend: And, as I am an honest Puck, If we have unearned luck Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue, We will make amends ere long; Else the Puck a liar call; So, good night unto you all. Give me your hands, if we be friends, And Robin shall restore amends." A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Shakespeare
[edit by Amaunator] Aye, t'is a fine day to conjure up the words of a great poet! May he Rest In Peace[/edit]
