"I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory.
I love only that which they defend"

There's nothing more dangerous than weak men and weak institutions. It's a provocation that'll eventually be answered by predators. Not all swords should be turned to plowshares.
