01:51 Only a coward waits to be taken like a lamb from the fold or a fox from a trap.

03:29 the hotter the flame of love waxes.
03:33 All a people need in order to rise up against tyranny
03:42 is a leader bold enough to take up the banner.
03:45 There is more in honor in accumulating little by little
03:53 than in reaching for the sky and ending up flat on your face.
03:58 When men meet foes in fight, a stout heart is better than a sharp sword.
04:09 Oftentimes it is not numbers that wins the victory,
04:13 but those who fare forward with the most vigor.
