Muse not that I thus suddenly proceed;
For what I will, I will, and there's an end.

How little do the landsmen know
Of what we sailors feel,
When the waves do mount and the winds do blow!
But we have hearts of steel.
—The Sailor's Resolution, 18th century

The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind the lines, in the gym,
and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights.

These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.

A deadly viper once bit a hole snipe's hide; But 'twas the viper, not the snipe, that died.
