Another Day of Life

~ ~ ~

We are human beings.

When fear comes, sleep seldom can.

Not everyone can do everything.

The sailor talks about wind; the farmer, about cattle;

the soldier, about wounds.

As long as I breathe, I hope.

Life is vigilance.

There is no life in war.

Man is a wolf to man.

In the gardens of Bellona are born the seeds of death.

The outcomes of battles are always uncertain.

He who can prevail over himself in victory is twice victorious.

You know how to win, Hannibal, but not how to take

advantage of victory!

The only salvation for the conquered: not to expect salvation.

Being conquered, we conquered.

Who was he, who first took up the fearsome swords?
