“Wisdom, glory, grace, &c., are words frequent enough in every man’s mouth; but if a great many of those who use them should be asked what they mean by them, they would be at a stand, and not know what to answer.” — John Locke, An Essay Concerning Human Understanding
“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in that grey twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.” — Theodore Roosevelt, “The Strenuous Life“, Speech before the Hamilton Club (1899-04-10)
