“PROJECTILE, n. The final arbiter in international disputes. Formerly these disputes were settled by physical contact of the disputants, with such simple arguments as the rudimentary logic of the times could supply --the sword, the spear, and so forth.

Its capital defect is that it requires personal attendance at the point of propulsion.”
Ambrose Bierce
“Mental toughness is to physical as four is to one.”
