When sorrows come, they come not single spies, but in battalions.

For the non herders of Nerfs:

When bad things happen, they don’t come one at a time, like enemy spies, but all at once like an army.

But, for my own part, it was Greek to me.

Thou art so leaky that we must leave thee to thy sinking.

Cry "Havoc," and let slip the dogs of war.

Spiced_Rum · 06-22-13, 12:36 PM

I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit; and, upon this charge
Cry 'God for Harry! England and Saint George!'

Jimbuna · 06-22-13, 12:42 PM

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;

Spiced_Rum · 06-22-13, 12:48 PM

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England, now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

This is a way to kill a wife with kindness,
And thus I’ll curb her mad and headstrong humor.

As he was valiant, I honour him; but, as he was ambitious, I slew him.

Sailor Steve · 06-22-13, 04:24 PM

Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.

Spiced_Rum · 06-22-13, 04:28 PM

“Thy husband is thy lord, thy life, thy keeper,
Thy head, thy sovereign, one that cares for thee,
And for thy maintenance; commits his body
To painful labor, both by sea and land;
To watch the night in storms, the day in cold,
Whilst thou li’st warm at home, secure and safe;
And craves no other tribute at thy hands
But love, fair looks, and true obedience-
