An Englishman thinks a hundred miles is a long way; and American thinks a hundred years is a long timeDiana Gabaldon
I have lived through war, and lost much. I know what's worth the fight, and what is not. Honor and courage are matters of the bone, and what a man will kill for, he will sometimes die for, too.

For the sake of love alone, I would walk through fire again.
