One Must Regard The Hyphen

How Dreadful Are The Curses Which Mohammedanism Lays On Its Votaries! Besides The Fanatical Frenzy, Which Is As Dangerous In A Man As Hydrophobia In A Dog, There Is This Fearful Fatalistic Apathy. Improvident Habits, Slovenly Systems Of Agriculture, Sluggish Methods Of Commerce, And Insecurity Of Property Exist Wherever The Followers Of The Prophet Rule Or Live. A Degraded Sensualism Deprives This Life Of Its Grace And Refinement; The Next Of Its Dignity And Sanctity.

This Truth May Be Unfashionable, Unpalatable, No Doubt Unpopular, But, If It Is The Truth, The Story Of Mankind Shows That War Was Universal And Unceasing For Millions Of Years Before Armaments Were Invented Or Armies Organized. Indeed, The Lucid Intervals Of Peace And Order Only Occurred In Human History After Armaments In The Hands Of Strong Governments Have Come Into Being, And Civilization In Every Age Has Been Nursed Only In Cradles Guarded By Superior Weapons And Superior Discipline.

Perhaps It Is Better To Be Irresponsible And Right, Than To Be Responsible And Wrong.

It Is Remarkable That Lord Esher Should Be So Much Astray...we Must Conclude That An Uncontrollable Fondness For Fiction Forbade Him To Forsake It For Fact. Such Constancy Is A Defect In An Historian.

Happy Are The Painters, For They Shall Not Be Lonely. Light And Colour, Peace And Hope, Will Keep Them Company To The End Of The Day.
