"One of the marks of a certain type of bad man is that he cannot give up a thing himself without wanting everyone else to give it up."

Government is the thing. Law is the thing. Not brotherhood, not international cooperation, not security councils that can stop war only by waging it... Where does security lie, anyway - security against the thief, a bad man, the murderer? In brotherly love? Not at all. It lies in government.
