It is like writing history with lightning. And my only regret is that it is all so terribly true.
Some men who are not real men love other things about themselves, but the real man believes that his honor is dearer than his life; and a nation is merely all of us put together, and the nation's honor is dearer than the nation's comfort and the nation's peace and the nation's life itself.
There is such a thing as a nation being so right that it does not need to convince others by force that it is right.
