When war comes, reason is regarded as treason. — © I. F. Stone
When war comes, reason is regarded as treason.
Treason doth never prosper. What's the reason? Why, when it prospers, none dare call it treason.
Remember, remember the fifth of November of gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gun powder treason should ever be forgot.
Treason doth never prosper, what's the reason? For if it prosper, none dare call it Treason.
If you begin to have a relationship where you're doing what the guards want, and once you're out you will see that as a treason, a treason to your country, a treason to yourself, a treason to everybody, so you have to be very cautious on what is the perspective you're looking at yourself, and you have always to see yourself like from the outside.
Remember, remember, the Fifth of November, the Gunpowder Treason and Plot. I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot... But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament.
In battle, combatants engaged in war against America get no due process and may lawfully be killed. But citizens not in a battlefield - however despicable - are guaranteed a trial by our Constitution. No one argues that Americans who commit treason shouldn't be punished. The maximum penalty for treason is death. But the Constitution specifies the process necessary to convict.
Reason is 6/7 of treason.
The person who cannot laugh is not only ready for treason, and deceptions, their whole life is already a treason and deception.
I know not what treason is, if sapping and betraying the liberties of a people be not treason.
The voice of reason is more to be regarded than the bent of any present inclination; since inclination will at length come over to reason, though we can never force reason to comply with inclination.
For myself, I care not whether treason be committed North or South; he that is guilty of treason is entitled to a traitor's fate!
If there is no sufficient reason for war, the war party will make war on one pretext, then invent another... after the war is on.
The last temptation is the greatest treason: to do the right deed for the wrong reason.
The highest treason, the meanest treason, is to deny the holiness of this little blue planet on which we journey through the cold void of space.
In the middle of the last century there was a reason to go to war. This time around the war was a really bad idea and I think the only people that benefited from it were Halliburton and people that made money from it, but that's not an excuse to have a war. Killing American kids so Halliburton can make money is not a righteous reason to go to war.
The reason we start a war is to fight a war, win a war, thereby causing no more war!
