"We are for the ladder. Let all try their best to climb. They are for the queue. Let each wait his place until his turn comes."

I see also the dull, drilled, docile, brutish masses of the Hun soldiery plodding on like a swarm of crawling locusts. ..." For humor: George Bernard Shaw: "Here are two tickets to the opening of my new play. Come and bring a friend, if you have one." Winston Churchill: "Can't possibly make opening night.
