The title wise is, for the most part, falsely applied. How can one be a wise man, if he does not know any better how to live than other men? — if he is only more cunning and intellectually subtle?
Henry David Thoreau
Now let us sing — Long live the king,
And Gilpin, long live he;
And, when he next doth ride abroad,
May I be there to see!William Cowper
Better a life like a falling star, brief bright across the dark, than the long, long waiting of the immortals, loveless and cheerlessly wise.
Poul Anderson
Long live Iraq! Long live the Iraqi people! Down with the traitors!
Saddam Hussein
Long live Montreal, Long live Quebec! Long live Free Quebec!
Charles de Gaulle
