Reason and reality are the only means to just laws; mindless wishes, if given sovereignty, become deadly masters.

Terry GoodkindReasons are the spoils of victory. When you've destroyed the enemy, then your leaders write down the reasons in books, and give moving speeches about them. If you've done your job, then there aren't any of the enemy left to dispute your leader's reasons. At least not until the next war.
