A time will come when a politician who has willfully made war and promoted international dissension will be as sure of the dock and much surer of the noose than a private homicide. It is not reasonable that those who gamble with mens lives should not stake their own. – H. G. Wells
Because hypocrisy stinks in the nostrils one is likely to rate it as a more powerful agent for destruction than it is. – Rebecca West, The Strange Necessity, 1928
