    Religion is by no means a proper subject of conversation in mixed company; it should only be treated among a very few people of learning, for mutual instruction. It is too awful and respectable a subject to become a familiar one.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    The utter helplessness of a conquered people is perhaps the most tragic feature of a civil war or any other sort of war.
