A broadsheet obituarist once pointed out to me that veteran soldiers die by rank. First to go are the generals, admirals and air marshals, then the brigadiers, then a bit of a gap and the colonels and wing commanders and passed-over majors, then a steady trickle of captains and lieutenants. As they get older and rarer, so the soldiers are mythologised and grow ever more heroic, until finally drummer boys and under-age privates are venerated and laurelled with honours like ancient field marshals. There is something touching about that.

God never can use any man very much till he has grace enough to forget himself entirely while doing God's work; for He will not give His glory to another nor share with the most valued instrument the praise that belongs to Jesus Christ alone.
This is our high calling, to represent Christ, and act in His behalf, and in His character and spirit, under all circumstances and toward all men.
Ambition often puts Men upon doing the meanest offices; so climbing is performed in the same position with creeping.
Therefore, since the world has still Much good, but much less good than ill, And while the sun and moon endure Luck's a chance, but trouble's sure, I'd face it as a wise man would, And train for ill and not for good.
I hate flying. Know why? Because no one really understands how planes actually work.
What we want is clothing we think we can fly in. That's why I opened the show with flying dresses.
A home cook who relies too much on a recipe is sort of like a pilot who reads the plane's instruction manual while flying.
Flying might not be all plain sailing, but the fun of it is worth the price.
