Mr. Mark...

Please help me out.

Who said, 'The best offense is a great defense' or something like that.

Was it Vince Lombardi?

Appreciate anyone who can help me out here.

Thanks,

Paulie

Why should the devil have all the good tunes?
Rowland Hill

HEAUTONTIMOROUMENOS
C.Baudelaire

Like a butcher I will strike you
Without anger and without hate
As Moses struck the rock!
And from your eyelid I will cause,

In order to irrigate my Sahara,
The waters of suffering to gush forth.
My desire swollen with hope
Will float on your salty tears

Like a vessel moving out from shore,
And in my heart which they will intoxicate
Your dear sobs will resound
Like a drum beating the charge!

Am I not a false chord
In the divine symphony,
Thanks to the voracious Irony
Which shakes and bites me?

The raucous girl is in my voice!
This black poison is my blood!
I am the sinister mirror
in which the megara looks at herself!

I am the wound and the blade!
I am the slap and the cheek!
I am the limbs and the wheel,
The victim and the executioner!

I am the vampire of my own heart
--One of the deserted men
Condemned to eternal laughter,
And who can no longer smile!

Speak the truth and shame the devil.
Proverb

The devil tempts all men, but idle men tempt the devil.
Arabian Proverb
