“War is but a terrestrial test of hope. The country or the people who have adopted values that maximize the resources and hopes of its peoples best will inevitably become the victor. The more a nation conquers neighboring peoples the more the people of that conquering nation come to feel that they deserve to dominate their fellow men and the more they will see their nation's values as the true guiding lights of humanity. The supremacy of those winning values then lives on and the values are written up and loaded in our histories and go on to be retold in stories, passed down to give future generations hope. Eventually, when those values cease to be effective, they'll lose out to the values of another newer nation and history will continue on, a new era unfolding. This, I declare, is the form of human progress.”

“The danger of supporting or standing behind a person who is wrong. They will take your support as a confirmation that they are right and whatever they are doing is right. They won't stop doing the bad things they do and they will think that nothing is wrong on what they are doing or saying. Until one day whatever they are doing . They will do it to you or to someone you know.”
