Console yourself not with the lie that your foe is weak, or stupid, or evil. Sometimes the enemy is worthy. Sometimes his cause is just. Sometimes both sides are right in their own ways-and in the hour that just causes collide, good men will rise up and leap into the fray, and the clash of their meeting will shake the heavens. And their blood will flow like rivers. Holly Lisle
About This Quote

The war never ends, and the truth will always be unearthed.   And when the dust settles, the victor will be judged, and the vanquished will rise up and fight again. But it takes courage to be a hero. It takes strength and determination and a willingness to fight for what is right. It takes bravery and honor.
