To this very day, in the political world there are certain questions for
which we can find no solution except the sword. But it is scandalous to
think that there should be no other solution than knocking one another
around to see who is the more fortunate (one hardly can say “more
powerful,” because there are thousands of instances in which the more
powerful have gone under)...
