Governments move armies, but only individuals can move hearts.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Lightly armed nations can move toward war just as easily as those which are armed to the teeth, and they will do so if the usual causes of war are not removed.
Armies are not only for offensives.
Governments go to war directly or by proxy without declaring war. Force, or threat of force, are constantly used to dominate other countries.
Nothing else in the world... not all the armies... is so powerful as an idea whose time has come.
Everyone imposes his own system as far as his army can reach.
No dictator, no invader, can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time as come.
You can either invade a country or leave them alone and trade with them. When goods cross borders, armies don't.
National armies fight nations, royal armies fight their like, the first obey a mob, always demented and the second a king, generally sane.
People have to be armed to have power, you see.
