War is an unmitigated evil. But it certainly does one good thing. It drives away fear and brings bravery to the surface.

Man lives freely only by his readiness to die, if need be, at the hands of his brother, never by killing him.
Let us all be brave enough to die the death of a martyr, but let no one lust for martyrdom.

I believe that a man is the strongest soldier for daring to die unarmed.
A courageous man prefers death to the surrender of self-respect.

Anger and intolerance are the twin enemies of correct understanding
An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.

An eye for an eye and everyone shall be blind
Satisfaction lies in the effort not the attainment. Full effort is full victory.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
