“Soldiers, Brave as you are to no end, if you crave To face the last fight with me, and no doubt of it, How matters stand for us each one can see. The gods by whom this kingdom stood are gone, Gone from the shrines and altars. You defend A city lost in flames. Come, let us die, We'll make a rush into the thick of it. The conquered have one safety: hope for none.'" 2.465”
― Virgil, The Aeneid (Penguin Classics) [Paperback] [2003] (Author) Virgil, David West

“Follow the deer? Follow the Christ the King. Live pure, speak true,right wrong, Follow the King-- Else, wherefore born? ”
― Alfred Lord Tennyson

“The Lord did not come to make a display. He came to heal and to teach suffering men. For one who wanted to make a display the thing would have been just to appear and dazzle the beholders. But for Him Who came to heal and to teach the way was not merely to dwell here, but to put Himself at the disposal of those who needed Him, and to be manifested according as they could bear it, not vitiating the value of the Divine appearing by exceeding their capacity to receive it.”
― St. Athanasius, On the Incarnation
