“War proves nothing. To kill a man does not prove that he was in the wrong. Bloodletting cannot change men's spirits, neither can the evil of men's thoughts be driven out by blows.

I have conquered her and she must pay me for my trouble; and her house and all that is left in it belongs to my heirs and successors, forever. That is war!” IfsMenChildrenDoeWarSpiritEvilHouseLeftNationsPayBreakForeverTroubleProveEthicsBlowDrivenNeighborFurnitureHeirsCaptivesSuccessorsBloodletting Book:In Times Like These Source: In Times Like These
