"Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."
- Douglas Adams

The conventional army loses if it does not win. The guerrilla wins if he does not lose.
- Henry A. Kissinger

Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go.
They want full measure of all your pleasure,
But they do not need your woe.

From Solitude - Ella Wheeler Wilcox
