1066 He who demands mercy and shows none burns the bridges over which he himself must later pass.
1076 War is an instrument entirely inefficient toward redressing wrong; and multiplies, instead of indemnifying losses.
1080 The natural cause of the human mind is certainly from credulity to skepticism.
1109 If there is one principle more deeply rooted in the mind of every American, it is that we should have nothing to do with conquest.
