• It must be a peace without victory... Victory would mean peace forced upon the loser, a victor's terms imposed upon the vanquished. It would be accepted in humiliation, under duress, at an intolerable sacrifice, and would leave a sting, a resentment, a bitter memory upon which terms of peace would rest, not permanently, but only as upon quicksand. Only a peace between equals can last.

  Woodrow Wilson

  Memories, War, Mean

  Address to the Senate, January 22, 1917.

  to lose it. All wars have been fought for a so-called good Cause on both
  sides. But only the victor's Cause becomes history's Noble Cause. It's not a
  matter of who is right or who is wrong, it's a matter of who has the best
  generals and the better army!

• Amid the cheering of the crowds, he hardly heard his master's voice, but he saw the familiar head and shoulders, and the bright flag he was waving. He raced toward the seven-foot fence; without apparent effort he rose in the air and cleared the top with a good hand-breadth to spare; then dashed up to his master that he loved, and gamboled there and licked his hand in heart-full joy. Again the victor's crown was his, and the master, a man of dogs, caressed the head of shining black with the jewel eyes of gold.
