“It is necessary to understand that war is common, strife is customary, and all things happen because of strife and necessity.”
“Realize that war is common and justice is strife, and that all things come into being and pass away through strife.”
“War is no strife To the dark house and the detested wife.”
“I've done my best, and I begin to understand what is meant by 'the joy of strife'. Next to trying and winning, the best thing is trying and failing.”
“What opposes unites, and the finest attunement stems from things bearing in opposite directions, and all things come about by strife.”
“There was no pride, pomp, or circumstance of glorious war in this poor, domestic strife, this seemingly sordid and unheroic, miserably unheroic, yet high, eternal contest!”
