"Hannibal had the battlefield ( at Lake Trasimene) searched for the Roman commander's body to give him an honorable burial, but no one could find it. The Insubres were one of the Gallic tribes that kept their enemies' heads as trophies. It is possible that Flaminius's body was stripped of its armor and his head cut off, later to hang from the belt of the Gaul who had killed him." — 1 hour, 29 min ago

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
