Elbert Hubbard
So long as governments set the example of killing their enemies, private individuals will occasionally kill theirs.
Elbert Hubbard, Elbert Hubbard's Scrap Book

Imagine your worst day, multiply it by a hundred, and pray to your God that you never experience what some of the people in this war zone go through, everyday, without any hope of it getting better. Ever. Compared to these people, every day, no matter how bad, is the best day ever. I know nothing about pain, nothing about suffering and hopefully never will.
Hendri Coetzee, Living the Best Day Ever
