Even If A King Defeats His Enemy In Battle, That Still Doesn't Settle Anything. There Are Other, Less Numerous Armies Of Philosophers And Scientists, And Their Contests Determine The True Triumph Or Defeat Of Nations. One Scholar Is Matched With Another; One Creative Mind With Another; And One Judicious Temperament With His Counterpart. A Victory Won On That Field Counts For Three Won By Force Of Arms.
