Quote examples
George William Russell
Irish Writer
By intensity of hatred, nations create in themselves the character that they imagine in their enemies. Hence it comes that all passionate conflicts result in an interchange of characteristics. We might say with truth, those who hate open a door by which their enemies enter and make their own the secret places of the heart.
Quote examples
John Paul Jones
American Soldier

Quote examples
