QUOTES 1."If he does not fight, it is not because he rejects all fighting as futile, but because he has finished his fights. He has overcome all dissensions between himself and the world and is now at rest... We shall have wars and soldiers so long as the brute in us is untamed. 2.It is not God that is worshipped but the authority that claims to speak in His name.
