"You say that your one life and the remaining tens of thousands of lives have equal worth?

Don't be so conceited, human.

One life has only the worth of that one life itself, and is no more or less than that."
Fuhrer President King Bradley, Fullmetal Alchemist

"Then out spake brave Horatius,

The Captain of the Gate:

"To every man upon this earth

Death cometh soon or late.

And how can man die better

Than facing fearful odds,

For the ashes of his fathers,

And the temples of his Gods"
Thomas Babington Macaulay, Horatius

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

Freudia: Leave Karl to me. I shall take care of everything here, so rest assured. I have no time to explain, but you are the only one who has a chance of defeating Iris.
