• The world can be a challenging and difficult place in which to live. We are often surrounded by that which would drag us down.

In this sacred sanctuary we will find peace; we will be renewed and fortified.

• Naturally, the common people don't want war ... but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.

All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.
