"We now descend from a Kingdom of Gold and Silver, to one of Iron and Rust"
Cassius Dio, speaking of the Roman empire after Emperor Marcus Aurelius' death.

“This soldier, I realized, must have had friends at home and in his regiment; yet he lay there deserted by all except his dog. I looked on, unmoved, at battles which decided the future of nations. Tear less, I had given orders which brought death to thousands. Yet here I was stirred, profoundly stirred, stirred to tears. And by what? By the grief of one dog."
~ Napoleon

It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.
Marcus Aurelius
