But the cause for which we fought was higher; our thought wider... That thought was our power.

We should seek by all means in our power to avoid war, by analysing possible causes, by trying to remove them, by discussion in a spirit of collaboration and good will.

As a single withered tree, if set aflame, causes a whole forest to burn, so does a rascal son destroy a whole family.

It is better to die than to preserve this life by incurring disgrace. The loss of life causes but a moment's grief, but disgrace brings grief every day of one's life.

All ideas come about through some sort of observation. It sparks an attitude; some object or emotion causes a reaction in the other person.
