The atom bomb was no “great decision.” It was used in the war, and for your information, there were more people killed by fire bombs in Tokyo than dropping of the atomic bombs accounted for. It was merely another powerful weapon in the arsenal of righteousness. The dropping of the bombs stopped the war, save millions of lives.

Harry S. Truman

Malcolm Gladwell

Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon Bonaparte

Robert Kennedy

The miners lost because they had only the constitution. The other side had bayonets. In the end, bayonets always win.

The gospel shows a God far more holy than the legalist can bear, yet far more merciful than a humanist can conceive

Timothy Keller

A journalist is a grumbler, a censurer, a giver of advice, a regent of sovereigns, a tutor of nations. Four hostile newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets.

John H. Vincent

Sundays kill more people than bombs.

Regimes planted by bayonets do not take root... Our military strength is a prerequisite to peace, but let it be clear we maintain this strength in the hope it will never be used, for the ultimate determinant in the struggle that's now going on in the world will not be bombs and rockets but a test of wills and ideas, a trial of spiritual resolve, the values we hold, the beliefs we cherish, the ideals to which we are dedicated.

Ronald Reagan

Nothing is more praiseworthy, nothing more suited to a great and illustrious man than placability and a merciful disposition.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

For years I bore the crippling weight of anger, bitterness and resentment toward those who caused my suffering. Yet as I look back over a spiritual journey that has spanned more than three decades, I realize the same bombs that caused so much pain and suffering also brought me to a place of great healing. Those bombs led me to Jesus Christ.

Phan Thi Kim Phuc

There are a lot of car bombs and roadside bombs, house bombs, even, in this city planted by ISIS. So - but it's going to be a tough fight ahead, and the Iraqi generals expect to take the city back, the city of Ramadi, by mid-January.
