With The Shock Of War The State

We Can Easily Become As Much Slaves To Precaution As We Can To Fear. Although We Can Never Rivet Our Fortune So Tight As To Make It Impregnable, We May By Our Excessive Prudence Squeeze Out Of The Life That We Are Guarding So Anxiously All The Adventurous Quality That Makes It Worth Living.

With The Shock Of War The State Comes Into Its Own Again.

Diplomacy Is A Disguised War, In Which States Seek To Gain By Barter And Intrigue, By The Cleverness Of Arts, The Objectives Which They Would Have To Gain More Clumsily By Means Of War.

War Is The Health Of The State.

The State Is Not The Nation, And The State Can Be Modified And Even Abolished In Its Present Form, Without Harming The Nation. On The Contrary, With The Passing Of The Dominance Of The State, The Genuine Life-enhancing Forces Of The Nation Will Be Liberated.
