| Personal prudence, even when dictated by quite other than selfish considerations, surely is no special virtue in a military man; while an excessive love of glory, impassioning a less burning impulse, the honest sense of duty, is the first. |
| ~ Herman Melville (1819–1891), U.S. author. Billy Budd, Sailor (posthumous), ch 5, eds. Harrison Hayford and Merton M. Sealts, Jr. (1962). ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| Happiness is man's perogative. He seeks it and each man is equally entitled to his pursuits of happiness; no man seeks misery. Justice and equality belong to man's perogatives too, but these should derive their practice from altruism and should not have been corroded by the stations of power and wealth. To build such an altruistic motivation so that justice and equality may coexist, the creation of a staunch moral fabric for the social environment is a prerequisite. |
