   "Peace is generally good in itself, but it is never the highest good
   unless it comes as the handmaid of righteousness; and it becomes a
   very evil thing if it serves merely as a mask for cowardice and sloth,
   or as an instrument to further the ends of despotism or anarchy. We
   despise and abhor the bully, the brawler, the oppressor, whether in
   private or public life, but we despise no less the coward and the
   voluptuary. No man is worth calling a man who will not fight rather
   than submit to infamy or see those that are dear to him suffer wrong."
   -- [1]Theodore Roosevelt, 1906
