"Though force in itself is an evil, when employed against a greater evil, the lesser of the two evils becomes in this world of relativity an act of rightesousness....

Wars of defense are not wrong, but a far greater achievement is to be able to conquer one's would-be conquerers by nonviolent resistance."
