—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“War both needs and generates certain virtues; not the highest, but what may be called the preliminary virtues, as valour, veracity, the spirit of obedience, the habit of discipline.

—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
“In politics people throw themselves, as on a sickbed, from one side to the other in the belief they will lie more comfortably.”
