No one need think that the world can be ruled without blood. The civil sword shall and must be red and bloody.

Peace, above all things, is to be desired, but blood must sometimes be spilled to obtain it on equable and lasting terms.

Peace, above all things, is to be desired, but blood must sometimes be spilled to obtain it on equable and lasting terms.

Something is wanting, and something must be done, or we shall be involved in all the horror of failure, and civil war without a prospect of its termination.

All they that take the sword, shall perish with the sword

Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by my sword.
