Summary

This quote highlights a valuable lesson from history regarding the onset of wars. It suggests that governments are more likely to engage in aggressive actions or start a war when they perceive the cost of doing so to be relatively low. In other words, when governments believe that the benefits of aggression outweigh the potential consequences or expenses, they may be more inclined to initiate conflicts. This observation implies that understanding and managing the perceived cost of aggression is crucial to preventing conflicts and maintaining peace.

He was, first and last, the born fighter, to whom the consciousness of being matched against a great adversary suffices and who can dispense with success. Life for him was an adventure, perilous indeed, but men are not made for safe havens. The fullness of life is in the hazards of life. And, at the worst, there is that in us which can turn defeat into victory.

I do not want a plain box, I want a sarcophagus With tigery stripes, and a face on itRound as the moon, to stare up. I want to be looking at them when they comePicking among the dumb minerals, the roots. I see them already-the pale, star-distance faces. Now they are nothing, they are not even babies. I imagine them without fathers or mothers, like the first gods.They will wonder if I was important.
