A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
战争
War
I think war is based in greed and there are huge karmic retributions that will follow. I think war is never the answer to solving any problems. The best way to solve problems is to not have enemies.
我认为战争的基础是贪婪，随之而来的是巨大的因果报应。我认为战争永远不是解决任何问题的答案。解决问题的最好办法就是不要树敌。
If there is not the war, you don't get the great general; if there is not a great occasion, you don't get a great statesman; if Lincoln had lived in a time of peace, no one would have known his name.
如果没有战争，就不会有伟大的将军;如果没有伟大的时刻，你就不会有伟大的政治家;如果林肯生活在和平时期，没有人会知道他的名字。

Especially today as we fight the war on terror - against an enemy that represents hatred, extremism and stands behind no flag - we need to remember the sacrifices that have gone into protecting our flag.

We need to decide that we will not go to war, whatever reason is conjured up by the politicians or the media, because war in our time is always indiscriminate, a war against innocents, a war against children
我们需要决定，我们不会发动战争，无论政客或媒体想出什么理由，因为在我们这个时代，战争总是不分青皂白的，是对无辜者的战争，是对儿童的战争
In most communities it is illegal to cry "fire" in a crowded assembly. Should it not be considered serious international misconduct to manufacture a general war scare in an effort to achieve local political aims?
在大多数社区，在拥挤的集会上大喊“着火了”是违法的。为达到地方政治目的而制造全面战争恐慌，难道不应被视为严重的国际不法行为吗?
We were thus led to organize ourselves, as men who had fought the war together, in order to support those statesmen who had truly understood the lessons of that World War, thus attempting to prevent its recurrence.

Which suggests something about media and war: it's not just that events happen and the media documents and presents them. There is a third element: what the public is ready to accept, what the public wants to know.

Future years will never know the seething hell and the black infernal background, the countless minor scenes and interiors of the secession war; and it is best they should not. The real war will never get in the books.
未来的岁月将永远不会知道沸腾的地狱和黑色地狱的背景，无数的小场景和内部分裂战争;他们最好不要这么做。真正的战争永远不会载入史册。
Nations have recently been led to borrow billions for war; no nation has ever borrowed largely for education... no nation is rich enough to pay for both war and civilization. We must make our choice; we cannot have both.
最近，一些国家被迫借了数十亿美元用于战争;从来没有一个国家在很大程度上借钱用于教育……没有一个国家富裕到既能支付战争又能支付文明的费用。我们必须做出选择;我们不能两者兼得。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
