To Carry The Spirit Of Peace Into War Is A Weak And Cruel Policy. When An Extreme Case Calls For That Remedy Which Is In Its Own Nature Most Violent, And Which, In Such Cases, Is A Remedy Only Because It Is Violent, It Is Idle To Think Of Mitigating And Diluting. Languid War Can Do Nothing Which Negotiation Or Submission Will Do Better: And To Act On Any Other Principle Is, Not To Save Blood And Money, But To Squander Them.
