"War is an ugly
thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state
of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth a
war, is much worse....A man who has nothing which he is willing to
fight for, nothing which cares more about than he does about his
personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being
free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than
himself." - John Stuart Mill
So true.
ReplyDeleteI am not overly familiar with Mill, but I feel I should become a bit better acquainted.
