He that is not in the wars is not out of danger. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]

They shall have wars and pay for their presumption. [ William Shakespeare ]

The crudest foe is a masked benefactor. The wars which make history so dreary have served the cause of truth and virtue. [ Emerson ]

The Christian cemetery is a memorial and a record. It is not a mere field in which the dead are stowed away unknown; it is a touching and beautiful history, written in family burial plots, in mounded graves, in sculptured and inscribed monuments. It tells the story of the past, - not of its institutions, or its wars, or its ideas, but of its individual lives, - of its men and women and children, and of its household. It is silent, but eloquent; it is common, but it is unique. We find no such history elsewhere; there are no records in all the wide world in which we can discover so much that is suggestive, so much that is pathetic and impressive. [ Joseph Anderson ]
