A soldier will fight long and hard for a bit of colored ribbon.
Napoleon Bonaparte

Ten soldiers wisely led will beat a hundred without a head.
Euripides

The best weapon against an enemy is another enemy.

Ancient CS:GO proverb; if you got a kill, but it wasn't stat tracked did you really get a kill?



WE wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myriad subtleties.

Why should the world be over-wise,
In counting all our tears and sighs?
Nay, let them only see us, while
We wear the mask.

We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries
To thee from tortured souls arise.
We sing, but oh the clay is vile
Beneath our feet, and long the mile;
But let the world dream otherwise,
We wear the mask!
