Andrew Jackson
It is with trifles, and when he is off guard, that a man best reveals his character.
Arthur Schopenhauer
I know that I shall meet my fate somewhere among the clouds above; those that I fight I do not hate, those that I guard I do not love.
William Butler Yeats
Those that I fight I do not hate, those that I guard I do not love.
William Butler Yeats
