It's often been said, "Violence never solved anything." The simple truth is that when you are slammed up against the wall and the knife is at your throat, when a circle of teenagers is kicking you as you curl into a ball on the sidewalk, or when the man walks into your office building or school with a pair of guns and starts shooting, only violence, or the reasonable threat of violence, is going to save your life. In the extreme moment, only force can stop force.

The dream is damned and dreamer too if dreaming's all that dreamers do.

No intelligent man has ever lost a fight to someone who said 'I'm gonna kick your ass'.

The only defense against evil, violent people is good people who are more skilled at violence.

It is much easier and safer to scare someone into submission than to beat them into submission.

Better to avoid than run, better to run than de-escalcate, better to de-escalate than fight, better to fight than die.
