As a man, I’ve been representative of the values I hold dear. And the values I hold dear are carryovers from the lives of my parents.

On the Death of his Child Dew Evaporates And all our world is dew…so dear, So fresh, so fleeting

I want to show to those who deprive people the right to love of country, that when we know how to sacrifice ourselves for our duties and convictions, death does not matter if one dies for those one loves – for his country and for others dear to him.

Life is as dear to a mute creature as it is to man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not die, so do other creatures.

Hold dear to your parents for it is a scary and confusing world without them.

A rich rogue nowadays is fit company for any gentleman; and the world, my dear, hath not such a contempt for roguery as you imagine.
