Let a nation's fervent thanks make some amends for the toils and sufferings of those who survive.
It is the sincerest thing I have written caught by the drama of a soul struggling in the contrary toils of love and religion - death brought them into harmony.
I cannot help fearing that men may reach a point where they look on every new theory as a danger every innovation as a toilsome trouble every social advance as a first step toward revolution and that they may absolutely refuse to move at all.
War should only be declared by the authority of the people whose toils and treasures are to support its burdens instead of the government which is to reap its fruits.
