To rob, to ravage, to murder, in their imposing language, are the arts of civil policy. When they have made the world a solitude, they call it peace.

The decisive means for politics is violence.
Those whom reason hath equalled, force hath made supreme
Whoever has an army has power and that war decides everything.
When imperialism feels weak, it resorts to brute force.
