  1. A quotation from Euripides

    JASON: The curse of children’s blood be on you!
       Avenging Justice, blast your being!
    MEDEA: What god will hear your imprecation,
       Oath-breaker, guest-deceiver, liar?
     
    [ἸΆΣΩΝ: ἀλλά σ᾽ Ἐρινὺς ὀλέσειε τέκνων
       φονία τε Δίκη.
    ΜΉΔΕΙΑ: τίς δὲ κλύει σοῦ θεὸς ἢ δαίμων,
       τοῦ ψευδόρκου καὶ ξειναπάτου;]

    Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
    Medea [Μήδεια], l. 1389ff (431 BC) [tr. Vellacott (1963)]

  5. A quotation from Theodore Roosevelt

    I abhor unjust war. I abhor injustice and bullying by the strong at the expense of the weak, whether among nations or individuals. I abhor violence and bloodshed. I believe that war should never be resorted to when, or so long as, it is honorably possible to avoid it. I respect all men and women who from high motives and with sanity and self-respect do all they can to avert war. I advocate preparation for war in order to avert war; and I should never advocate war unless it were the only alternative to dishonor.

    Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
    Autobiography, ch. 7 “The War of America the Unready” (1913)

  9. A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

    I wish to preach, not the doctrine of ignoble ease, but the doctrine of the strenuous life. The life of toil and effort, of labor and strife; to preach that highest form of success which comes, not to the man who desires mere easy peace, but to the man who does not shrink from danger, from hardship or from bitter toil, and who out of these wins the splendid ultimate triumph.

    Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
    Speech (1899-04-10), “The Strenuous Life,” Hamilton Club, Chicago

  21. So the DC National Guard are an f-ing laughing stock of derelict traitorous fops. They couldn’t secure a lemonade stand and yet took and take the illegal order to deploy _against_ the American People.

    11 f-ing shootings on the National Guard’s watch because the f-ing National Guard are not police and never should take a deployment to pretend to be.

    You dishonorable scum. You will never live down the shame. Wastes of space.

  26. A quotation from Cicero

    You know the insolence of Antonius; you know his friends, you know his whole household. To be slaves to lustful, wanton, debauched, profligate, drunken gamblers, is the extremity of misery combined with the extremity of infamy.
     
    [Nostis insolentiam Antoni, nostis amicos, nostis totam domum. libidinosis, petulantibus, impuris, impudicis, aleatoribus, ebriis servire, ea summa miseria est summo dedecore coniuncta.]

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
    Philippics [Philippicae; Antonian Orations], No. 3, ch. 14 / sec. 35 (2.14/3.35.1) (44-12-20 BC) [tr. Yonge (1903)]

  34. A quotation from Herbert Hoover

    Our greatest danger is not from invasion by foreign armies. Our dangers are that we may commit suicide from within by complaisance with evil. Or by public tolerance of scandalous behavior. Or by cynical acceptance of dishonor. These evils have defeated nations many times in human history.

  40. A quotation from Euripides

    HELEN: Men think me wicked, though I did no wrong:
       And for the innocent to bear the load
       Of guilt is worse than wickedness itself.
     
    [ἙΛΈΝΗ: πρῶτον μὲν οὐκ οὖσ᾽ ἄδικος, εἰμὶ δυσκλεής:
       καὶ τοῦτο μεῖζον τῆς ἀληθείας κακόν,
       ὅστις τὰ μὴ προσόντα κέκτηται κακά.]

    Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
    Helen [Ἑλένη], l. 270ff (412 BC) [tr. Sheppard (1925)]

  42. A quotation from Cicero

    Nothing is more detestable than disgrace, nothing more shameful than slavery. We have been born for glory and freedom — let us either hold on to these things or die with dignity.
     
    [Nihil est detestabilius dedecore, nihil foedius servitute. Ad decus et ad libertatem nati sumus; aut haec teneamus aut cum dignitate moriamur.]

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
    Philippics [Philippicae; Antonian Orations], No. 3, ch. 14 / sec. 36 (3.14/3.36) (44-12-20 BC) [tr. @sentantiq (2019)]
