[Quote No.14238] Need Area: Friends > General
"War, even in the best state of an army, with all the alleviations of courtesy and honor, with all the correctives of morality and religion, is nevertheless so great an evil, that to engage in it without a clear necessity is a crime of the blackest dye. When the necessity is clear, it then becomes a crime to shrink from it." - Robert Southey

[Quote No.14327] Need Area: Friends > General
"If you sit down at set of sun,
And count the acts that you have done,
And counting.....
Find one self-denying deed, one word,
That eased the heart of him who heard, -
One glance most kind,
That fell like sunshine where it went,
Then you may count that day well spent.
But if.....
through all the livelong day,
You've cheered no heart, by yea or nay, -
If, through it all,
You've nothing done that you can trace,
That brought the sunshine to one face, -
No act most small,
That helped some soul and nothing cost, -
Then count that day as worst than lost." - George Eliot
