    “War-making is one of the few activities that people are not supposed to view “realistically”; that is, with an eye to expense and practical outcome. In all-out war, expenditure is all-out, unprudent—war being defined as an emergency in which no sacrifice is excessive.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “Here I pause in my sojourning, giving thanks for having come,
    come to trust, at every turning, God will guide me safely home.
    Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God,
    Came to rescue me from danger, precious presence, precious blood.”
    —Robert Robinson (1735–1790)

    “What a wise and good parent will desire for his own children a nation must desire for all children.”
    —Consultative Committee On The Prima. Report of the Consultative Committee on the Primary School (HADOW)
