Fortune Quote #3593

The most catastrophic result of "peace" movements was World War II. While
Hitler was arming Germany to the teeth, "peace" movements in Britain were
advocating that their own country disarm "as an example to others." ...

II. -- Thomas Sowell

Fortune Quote #3592

There was a time when it would have been suicidal to threaten, much less
attack, a nation with much stronger military power because one of the
dangers to the attacker would be the prospect of being annihilated. "World
opinion," the U.N. and "peace movements" have eliminated that deterrent.
An aggressor today knows that if his aggression fails, he will still be
protected from the full retaliatory power and fury of those he attacked
because there will be hand-wringers demanding a cease fire, negotiations
and concessions. -- Thomas Sowell

Fortune Quote #3589

Somerset Maugham

The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a

Nothing travels faster than the speed of light, with the possible

Whenever I dwell for any length of time on my own shortcomings, they
gradually begin to seem mild, harmless, rather engaging little things, not

These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the
sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their
country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man
and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this
consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the
triumph. -- Thomas Paine

is all hell. You can bear this warning voice to generations yet to
come. -- William Tecumseh Sherman

Fortune Quote #3574
