To localise hostile pressure as far as possible, and to give to it such a character as shall restrict its incidence to the peccant State, is surely in the interest of the general good.
To open and facilitate the settlement of trifling disputes between nations by judicial methods, war being unquestionably a method out of all proportion in such cases.
Perpetual peace is a dream, and it is not even a beautiful dream.
The greatest kindness in war is to bring it to a speedy conclusion.
