War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which
thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is
more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature, and has no chance of being free unless made or kept so
by the exertions of better men than himself.

in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.
