Pain is temporary, but pride is forever.

You can't build a peaceful world on empty stomachs and human misery.

Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.

No arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.

I think it's important to stay true to the source material, but also to bring your own vision to it.
