Whenever a man does a thoroughly stupid thing, it is always from the noblest motives.

All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.

Life would be tragic if it weren't funny.

In war as in life, it is often necessary when some cherished scheme has failed, to take up the best alternative open, and if so, it is folly not to work for it with all your might.
