Those who have experienced the most have suffered so much that they have ceased to hate. Hate is more for those with a slightly guilty conscience and who by chewing on old hate in times of peace wish to demonstrate how great they were during the war.

In a war everybody always knows all about Switzerland in peace times it is just Switzerland but in war time it is the only country that everybody has confidence in everybody.

Peace above all things is to be desired but blood must sometimes be spilled to obtain it on equable and lasting terms.

War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary it is always an evil never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children.

If we desire to avoid insult we must be able to repel it if we desire to secure peace one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity it must be known that we are at all times ready for War.

During times of war hatred becomes quite respectable even though it has to masquerade often under the guise of patriotism.

Politics is too partisan and sometimes patriotism is cast aside. Patriotism is honor and love of your country and your brothers and sisters. With politics I get the impression that it's all about what's good for the party and not necessarily what's good for the country.

Patriotism has served at different times as widely different ends as a razor which ought to be used in keeping your face clean and yet may be used to cut your own throat or that of an innocent person.

Sometimes they are a matter of luck the photographer could not expect or hope for them. Sometimes they are a matter of patience waiting for an effect to be repeated that he has seen and lost or for one that he anticipates.
