Livy
“It is your duty,' he said, 'to recover your country not by gold but by the sword. You will be fighting with all you love before your eyes: the temples of the gods, your wives and children, the soil of your native land scarred with the ravages of war, and everything which honor and truth call upon you to defend, or recover, or avenge.”
Livy, The History of Rome, Books 1-5: The Early History of Rome

Geraldine Brooks
“As to secrets, Father, I have but one: if the congregation expects a sermon of forty minutes’ length, then give them one of thirty minutes. If they expect thirty, then give them twenty. In all my years as a rabbi, I have never once had a soul complain to me that a sermon was too short.”
Geraldine Brooks, People of the Book
