The right thing to do never requires any subterfuge, it is always simple and direct. -Calvin Coolidge
War is the continuation of politics by other means, Politics is the continuation of economics by other means -Carl von Clausewitz
Any coward can fight a battle when he's sure of winning, but give me the man who has pluck to fight when he's sure of losing. That's my way, sir; and there are many victories worse than a defeat. -George Eliot
