Rendering oneself unarmed when one had been the best-armed, out of a height of feeling-that is the means to real peace, which must always rest on a peace of mind.

Sometime they'll give a war and nobody will come.

Beware of the man who does not return your blow: he neither forgives you nor allows you to forgive yourself.

One ought not to return injustice, nor do evil to anybody in the world, no matter what one may have suffered from them.

There is such a thing as man being too proud to fight. There is such a thing as a nation being so right that it does not need to convince others by force that it is right.
