Remembering

  

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 and kept so by the
exertions of better men than himself.
— John Stuart Mill (1868)


We sleep safely in our beds because rough men stand ready
in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.
— George Orwell


Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others.
— Robert Lewis Stevenson
