More From John Gay

I must die. i must be imprisoned. i must suffer exile. but must i die groaning? must i whine as well? can anyone hinder me from going into exile with a smile? the master threatens to chain me: what say you? chain me? my leg you will chain--yes, but not my will--no, not even zeus can conquer that.
Suffering Legs Conquer
You know, you don't retreat in the defense of freedom. you don't retreat in the defense of moral government and limited government. you don't retreat because people are going to defend bad things.
Government People Defense
Thus die i, thus, thus, thus. now am i dead, now am i fled; my soul is in the sky: tongue, lose thy light; moon take thy flight. now die, die, die, die, die.
Moon Light Sky
To strive with difficulties, and to conquer them, is the highest human felicity; the next is, to strive, and deserve to conquer: but he whose life has passed without a contest, and who can boast neither success nor merit, can survey himself only as a useless filler of existence; ad if he is content with his own character, must owe his satisfaction to insensibility.
Character Effort Useless
He would be guilty of mortal sin, because he exposes himself to the danger of grievously offending god. hence, before he acts he must lay aside the doubt; and if he has not hitherto done so, he must confess it, at least, as it is before god. but the scrupulous, who have doubts about everything, must follow another rule: they must obey their confessor. when he tells them to conquer their doubts, and to act against scruples, they should obey with exactness; otherwise they will render themselves unable and unfit to perform any spiritual exercise.
Spiritual Exercise Offending
Retreat itself is often a plan of resistance and may be a precursor of great bravery and sacrifice. every retreat is not cowardice which implies fear to die.
Sacrifice Bravery May
Similar Quotes
Maturity is achieved when a person accepts life as full of tension; when he does not torment himself with childish guilt feelings, but avoids tragic adult sins; when he postpones immediate pleasures for the sake of long-term values.... our generation must be inspired to search for that maturity which will manifest itself in the qualities of tenacity, dependability, co-operativeness and the inner drive to work and sacrifice for a nobler future of mankind.
Sacrifice Maturity Our Generation
With courage and character, american soldiers continue to put themselves on the line to defend our freedom, and so many have paid the ultimate sacrifice.

We call them leaders because they go first, because they take the risk before anybody else does, because they will choose to sacrifice so their people will be safe and protected.
Sacrifice People Leader
