War's always the same! Children starve, women suffer, men lose their fortunes or turn into beasts!

The pen is one of the most potent of weapons in a revolution

The British were unhinged by the colonists' unorthodox fighting style and shocking failure to abide by gentlemanly rules of engagement. One scandalized British soldier complained that the American riflemen 'conceal themselves behind trees etc. till an opportunity presents itself of taking a shot at our advance sentries, which done, they immediately retreat. What an unfair method of carrying on a war!

All great civilizations, in their early stages, are based on success in war

Men may fight the battle, but women wage the war.

Winning the Revolutionary War, or the Civil War, or World War II were the turning points in our history, the sine qua non of our forward progress.
