Once we have a war there is only one thing to do. It must be won. For defeat brings worse things than any that can ever happen in war.

The coward dies a thousand deaths, the brave but one'.... (The man who first said that) was probably a coward.... He knew a great deal about cowards but nothing about the brave. The brave dies perhaps two thousand deaths if he's intelligent. He simply doesn't mention them.

Not the why but the what.

I would take anything I love and throw it off the highest cliff you ever saw and not wait to hear it bounce.

That seemed to handle it. That was it. Send a girl off with one man. Introduce her to another to go off with him. Now go and bring her back. And sign the wire with love. That was it all right. I went in to lunch.

I learned never to empty the well of my writing, but always to stop when there was still something there in the deep part of the well, and let it refill at night from the springs that fed it.

For a war to be just three conditions are necessary - public authority, just cause, right motive.
