Dante Alighieri
Go forth and preach impostures to the world, But give them truth to build on.
Dante Alighieri

Be like a solid tower whose brave height remains unmoved by all the winds that blow the man who lets his thoughts be turned aside by one thing or another, will lose sight of his true goal, his mind sapped of its strength.
Dante Alighieri
No one thinks of how much blood it costs.
