For that crime, a person pays with his whole life; if the offender is a nation, it pays with its history.

Hollywood keeps before its child audiences a string of glorified young heroes, everyone of whom is an unhesitating and violent Anarchist.

My observation leads me to believe that it is not the virtuous people who are good at socking jaws.
