Where men are forbidden to honour a king they honour millionaires, athletes or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.
- C.S. Lewis

Warriors are not always the fastest or strongest men. Warriors are those who choose to stand between their enemy and all that they love or hold sacred.
