The top three have to be:
"I came, I saw, I conquered." - Gaius Julius Caesar
That's a classic by the man that single handedly took over Gallia.
"Danger gleams like sunshine to a brave man's eyes." - Cicero
Ah inspiration!
"In peace, sons bury their fathers; in war, fathers bury their sons." - Herodotus
This is there to remind us that war is indeed real, men die. Think of all the Roman's Hannibal slaughtered at Cannae. Think of all the innocent people the Roman's killed in Carthage. Hundreds of thousands died in this time period and more in other wars around the world. World Wars, Vietnam, Iraq/Afghanistan, French Revolution, American Revolution, Civil War, everyone that died in the Middle Ages at the hands of William the Conqueror and others, The Crusades, Napoleon and many more in Asia and the Middle East. Just think about it. Millions killed. I would be lead to believe that is why they put this quote there.
