Waiting.—It is the slowest pulsation which is the most vital. The hero will then know how to wait, as well as to make haste. All good abides with him who waiteth wisely.—Thoreau.
Want.—Nothing makes men sharper than want.—Addison.
Hundreds would never have known want if they had not first known waste.—Spurgeon.
It is not from nature, but from education and habits, that our wants are chiefly derived.—Fielding.
If any one say that he has seen a just man in want of bread, I answer that it was in some place where there was no other just man.—St. Clement.
War.—Take my word for it, if you had seen but one day of war, you would pray to Almighty God that you might never see such a thing again.—Wellington.
Wherever there is war, there must be injustice on one side or the other, or on both. There have been wars which were little more than trials of strength between friendly nations, and in which the injustice was not to each other, but to the God who gave them life. But in a malignant war there is injustice of ignobler kind at once to God and man, which must be stemmed for both their sakes.—Ruskin.
Civil wars leave nothing but tombs.—Lamartine.
The fate of war is to be exalted in the morning, and low enough at night! There is but one step from triumph to ruin.—Napoleon.
