War is a grim, cruel business, a business justified only as a means of sustaining the forces of good against those of evil.

The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance.

That within the best of us, there is some evil, and within the worst of us, there is some good. When we come to see this, we take a different attitude toward individuals.

Sometimes I feel my whole life has been one big rejection.

Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.

The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together.
