Quotations about force | |
Bravery without forethought, causes a man to fight blindly and desperately like a mad bull. Such an opponent, must not be encountered with brute force, but may be lured into an ambush and slain. Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. Faith is like love, it cannot be forced. Therefore it is a dangerous operation if an attempt be made to introduce or bind it by state regulations; for, as the attempt to force love begets hatred, so also to compel religious belief produces rank unbelief. Setting a good example is a far better way to spread ideals than through force of arms. |
