~~~~~~~

There’s a deep fly ball… Winfield goes back, back… his head hits the wall … it’s rolling towards second base.

~~~~~~~

Those that set in motion the forces of evil cannot always control them afterwards.

~~~~~~~

Those who actually set out to see the fall of a city or those who choose to go to a front line, are obviously asking themselves to what extent they are cowards. But the tests they set themselves — there is a dead body, can you bear to look at it? — are nothing in comparison with the tests that are sprung on them. It is not the obvious tests that matter (do you go to pieces in a mortar attack?) but the unexpected ones (here is a man on the run, seeking your help — can you face him honestly?).

~~~~~~~

To call war the soil of courage and virtue is like calling debauchery the soil of love.

~~~~~~~

To delight in war is a merit in the soldier, a dangerous quality in the captain, and a positive crime in the statesman

~~~~~~~

To establish any mode to abolish war, however advantageous it might be to Nations, would be to take from such Government the most lucrative of its branches.

~~~~~~~

To hold a pen is to be at war.’

~~~~~~~

To insist on strength … is not war-mongering. It is peace-mongering.’ Barry Goldwater

~~~~~~~

To keep the fire burning brightly, there’s one easy rule: keep the two logs together, near enough to keep each other warm and far enough apart — about a finger’s breadth — for breathing room. Good fire, good marriage, same rule.

~~~~~~~

To morrow being the day set apart by the Honorable Congress for public Thanksgiving and Praise; and duty calling us devoutely to express our grateful acknowledgements to God for the manifold blessings he has granted us. The General directs that the army remain in it’s present quarters, and that the Chaplains perform divine service with their several Corps and brigades. And earnestly exhorts, all officers and soldiers, whose absence is not indispensibly necessary, to attend with reverence the solemnities of the day.
