Adin Ballou Quotes, Religious Quotes, War Quotes

How many does it take to metamorphose wickedness into righteousness? One man must not kill. If he does, it is murder.... But a state or nation may kill as many as they please, and it is not murder.

When victorious in war, one should observe mourning rites.
