A just war is in the long run far better for a man's soul than the most prosperous peace.
It may be that at some time in the dim future of the race the need for war will vanish: but that time is yet ages distant. As yet no nation can hold its place in the world, or can do any work really worth doing, unless it stands ready to guard its right with an armed hand.
Kings and such are just as funny as politicians.
Look Toward the stars but keep your feet firmly on the ground.
Every reform movement has a lunatic fringe.
We shall make mistakes; and if we let these mistakes frighten us from our work we shall show ourselves weaklings.
