~Waiting.~--It is the slowest pulsation which is the most vital. The hero
will then know how to wait, as well as to make haste. All good abides
with him who waiteth wisely.--_Thoreau._
~Want.~--Nothing makes men sharper than want.--_Addison._
Hundreds would never have known _want_ if they had not first known
_waste_.--_Spurgeon._
It is not from nature, but from education and habits, that our wants are
chiefly derived.--_Fielding._
If any one say that he has seen a just man in want of bread, I answer
that it was in some place where there was no other just man.--_St.
Clement._
~War.~--Take my word for it, if you had seen but one day of war, you would
pray to Almighty God that you might never see such a thing
again.--_Wellington._
Wherever there is war, there must be injustice on one side or the other,
or on both. There have been wars which were little more than trials of
strength between friendly nations, and in which the injustice was not to
each other, but to the God who gave them life. But in a malignant war
there is injustice of ignobler kind at once to God and man, which must
be stemmed for both their sakes.--_Ruskin._
