“It turns out that the men who ultimately, who unpretentiously value peace are willing to sacrifice their own peace of mind in order to render it. The question is, 'Who, between opposing forces, would do such a thing?' It seems only theoretical albeit true that men who accept an objective rather than subjective moral standard are, in a general sense, more capable of making such sacrifices for the sake of peace.” MenMindSeemsValuesOrderTurnsForceAcceptingMoralSacrificeWillingHe ManCapableStandardsSakeObjectivesPeace Of MindSubjectiveTheoreticalOpposing Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy

“In this life we get only those things for which we hunt, for which we strive, and for which we are willing to sacrifice. It is better to aim for something that you want-even though you miss it-than to get something that you didn't aim to get, and which you don't want! If we look long enough for what we want in life we are almost sure to find it, no matter what that objective may be.” IfsWantLooksMayLongMatterEnoughSacrificeMissingWillingAimNo Matter WhatStriveObjectivesThis LifeHunts Author:George Matthew Adams
