War is not a polite recreation but the vilest thing in life, and we ought to understand that and not play at war.
Leo TolstoyThe law condemns and punishes only actions within certain definite and narrow limits; it thereby justifies, in a way, all similar actions that lie outside those limits.
Leo TolstoyIf I know the way home and am walking along it drunkenly, is it any less the right way because I am staggering from side to side! If it is not the right way, then show me another way; but if I stagger and lose the way, you must help me, you must keep me on the true path, just as I am ready to support you.
Leo Tolstoy
