Eric GreitensWarriors are warriors not because of their strengh, but because of their ability strengh to good purpose
About This Quote
The Latin root of warrior means “warrior.” For those who have taken the time to study the history of war, it is clear that those who stand on the battlefield and fight for their cause are not hardened and experienced soldiers. Rather, they are warriors because of their ability to do good. They go to war not for the sake of violence and bloodshed, but for the sake of doing good.
