Re: Quote of the Day
War is the highest expression of a truly cultured people.
- Frederick von Bernardi (Buddy of Clauswitz)
I am afeared there are few who die well, who die in a battle.
All those arms and legs and heads cut off.
Some lay crying on the field. Some for their mothers. Some for their sons or daughters. Some…
...And in the latter day, they all call, “we died, at such-a-place.”
Now. If the cause of the war be not just. It is black matter for the soul of the king that led them to it.
(From memory, could be slightly wrong: Henry V)
Quotations are truths; by other means.
