Weapons are the tools of violence; all decent men detest them as implements of ill omen, instruments of evil and death. Weapons are the tools of fear; a decent man will avoid them except in the direst necessity and, if compelled, will use them only with the uttermost restraint. Peace, wholeness, and life are his highest values. If the peace has been shattered, how can one be content? Your enemies are not demons, but human beings like yourself. Do not wish them personal harm, nor rejoice in victory. How can one rejoice in victory and delight in the slaughter of men? Enter a battle gravely, with sorrow and with great compassion, as if you were attending a funeral. Most battles are fought to defend what is thought right. These are the right-path people. I, who follow the only path that's left, fight when it is my only choice.
