Napoleon“The true men of action in our time those who transform the world are not the politicians and statesmen but the scientists. Unfortunately poetry cannot celebrate them because their deeds are concerned with things, not persons, and are therefore speechless. When I find myself in the company of scientists, I feel like a shabby curate who has strayed by mistake into a drawing room full of dukes.”
W.H. Auden“No single man makes history. History cannot be seen, just as one cannot see grass growing. Wars and revolutions, kings and Robespierres, are history's organic agents, its yeast. But revolutions are made by fanatical men of action with one-track mind, geniuses in their ability to confine themselves to a limited field. They overturn the old order in a few hours or days, the whole upheaval takes a few weeks or at most years, but the fanatical spirit that inspired the upheavals is worshiped for decades thereafter, for centuries. ”
Boris Pasternak, Doctor Zhivago“It is in difficult times we must remember that whatever burden we carry,it can make us stronger and build more character in us.We don’t grow from an easy life. Ease makes us like cattle sitting in the field and grazing.Existing without purpose or drive or desire.When pain or complications come to us, that is when we must become ALIVE.Our intellects begin to function at full power.We have desire and drive and acquire the power to CREATE solutions to these complications.We are no longer cattle. We stand up and become MEN of action!”
Levon Peter Poe“It might be added, too, that it takes something more than preponderance of numbers to win a battle....”
