No battle plan ever survives contact with the enemy.

It has never happened that people embrace profit in their contact with one another yet fail to be destroyed.

Here we say that life is a cliff, and you must never turn around and look back when you’re climbing.

Without adventure, civilization is in full decay.

People will not look forward to posterity, who never look backward to their ancestors.

Only the basic situations in life occur only once, never to return. For a man to be a man, he must be fully aware of this never-to-return. (p.148)

No one escapes from life alive.

Difficulty is the excuse history never accepts.

No plan survives first contact with the enemy.

The past is never where you think you left it.

No soul remembered is ever really gone.

One who never turned his back but marched breast forward, never doubted clouds would break, never dreamed, though right were worsted, wrong would triumph.

Wherever there is a war and painful partition, there will be no winners, human or otherwise.

No life had ever been truly saved, not in the history of mankind. They were merely prolonged. Everything comes to an end.
