Saying of the Week

"In affairs so dangerous as war, false ideas proceeding from kindness of heart are precisely the worst. ... The fact that slaughter is a horrifying spectacle must make us take war more seriously, but not provide an excuse for gradually blunting our swords in the name of humanity. Sooner or later someone will come along with a sharp sword and hack off our arms."

Clausewitz
