I take it that what all men are really after is some form or perhaps only some formula of peace. — Joseph Conrad

Let a fool be made serviceable according to his folly.

Nations it may be have fashioned their Governments, but the Governments have paid them back in the same coin.

The scrupulous and the just, the noble, humane, and devoted natures; the unselfish and the intelligent may begin a movement — but it passes away from them. They are not the leaders of a revolution. They are its victims.
