“If men do not now succeed in abolishing war, civilization and mankind are doomed.”
Ludwig von Mises
“Aragorn: Hold your ground, hold your ground. Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down, but it is not this day. This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you *stand, Men of the West!*”
J.R.R. Tolkien
“[Smiley writes that upon meeting Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of] Uncle Tom?s Cabin, ... So this is the little lady who made this big war.”
Abraham Lincoln
“Offering thanks in the midst of tragedy is an American tradition, ... even during a bloody Civil War.”
“America to withdraw its troops from Iraq ahead of schedule. To prepare for the "civil war" brewing back home?”
Muhammed Haider
“I can not deny that all may be swept away. Broken by it, I, too, may be; bow to it I never will. The probability that we may fall in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause that we believe to be just; it shall not deter me.”
“We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain.”
