Conquest

"He who surpasses or subdues mankind, Must look down on the hate of those below."

"Shall they hoist me up, And show me to the shouting varletry Of censuring Rome? Rather a ditch in Egypt Be gentle grave unto me, rather on Nilus mud Lay me stark naked, and let the water-flies Blow me into abhorring!"

"Brave conquerors! for so you are That war against your own affections, And the huge army of the worlds desires."

"Like Douglas conquer, or like Douglas die."

"I sing the hymn of the conquered, who fell in the battle of life, The hymn of the wounded, the beaten who died overwhelmed in the strife; Not the jubilant song of the victors for whom the resounding acclaim Of nations was lifted in chorus whose brows wore the chaplet of fame, But the hymn of the low and the humble, the weary, the broken in heart, Who strove and who failed, acting bravely a silent and desperate part."

"Bis vincit qui se vincit in victoria."
