I Am Not Proud, But I Am

I Know What Happiness And What Despair Are, And I Never Make A Jest Of Such Feelings. Take It, Then, But In Exchange —

Perhaps What I Am About To Say Will Appear Strange To You Gentlemen, Socialists, Progressives, Humanitarians As You Are, But I Never Worry About My Neighbor, I Never Try To Protect Society Which Does Not Protect Me -- Indeed, I Might Add, Which Generally Takes No Heed Of Me Except To Do Me Harm -- And, Since I Hold Them Low In My Esteem And Remain Neutral Towards Them, I Believe That Society And My Neighbor Are In My Debt.

D'artagnan, My Friend, Thou Art Brave, Thou Art Prudent, Thou Hast Excellent Qualities, But- Women Will Destroy Thee!" -d'artagnan

We Are Always In A Hurry To Be Happy...; For When We Have Suffered A Long Time, We Have Great Difficulty In Believing In Good Fortune.

Besides We Are Men, And After All It Is Our Business To Risk Our Lives.
