| Lois McMaster Bujold
A good friend of my son's is a son to me. A hundred objective measurements didn't sum the worth of a garden; only the delight of its users did that. Only the use made it mean something. A tactical retreat is not a bad response to a surprise assault, you know. First you survive. Then you choose your own ground. Then you counterattack. A weapon is a device for making your enemy change his mind. Children might or might not be a blessing, but to create them and then fail them was surely damnation. Good soldiers never pass up a chance to eat or sleep. They never know how much they'll be called on to do before the next chance. How could you be a Great Man if history brought you no Great Events, or brought you to them at the wrong time, too young, too old? I take it as a man's duty to restrain himself. If you're trying to take a roomful of people by surprise, it's a lot easier to hit your targets if you don't yell going through the door. My home is not a place, it is people. Never... ever suggest they don't have to pay you. What they pay for, they'll value. What they get for free, they'll take for granted, and then demand as a right. Hold them up for all the market will bear. Some men just aren't cut out for paternity. Better they should realize it before and not after they become responsible for a son. Suicidal glory is the luxury of the irresponsible. We're not giving up. We're waiting for a better opportunity to win. The dead cannot cry out for justice; it is a duty of the living to do so for them. There are always survivors at a massacre. Among the victors, if nowhere else. What you are is a question only you can answer. |
