Work
"It is not the cause for which men took up arms that makes a victory more just or less, it is the order that is established when arms have been laid down."
Man
"Evil, when we are in its power, is not felt as evil, but as a necessity, even a duty."

Being
"A self-respecting nation is ready for anything, including war, except for a renunciation of its option to make war."
