Each man kills the things he loves. I recognise that in myself - in relationships, even with guitars - beautiful things that I've had and wilfully destroyed.
You can't walk alone. Many have given the illusion, but none have really walked alone. Man is not made that way. Each man is bedded in his people, their history, their culture, and their values.
There's a victory, and defeat; the first and best of victories, the lowest and worst of defeats which each man gains or sustains at the hands not of another, but of himself.
All things will be produced in superior quantity and quality, and with greater ease, when each man works at a single occupation, in accordance with his natural gifts, and at the right moment, without meddling with anything else.
Each man seeks his own interest, not the general interest. Let his own selfish interests be touched, and all concord is at an end.
Let each man pass his days in that wherein his skill is greatest.
Each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible.
What each man feared would happen to himself, did not trouble him when he saw that it would ruin another.

Emma Cullen: What ever they were in life, here, at the end, each man stood with courage and honor. They fought for the ones who couldn't fight for themselves, and the died for them, too. All to win something that didn't belong to them. It was - magnificent.
