Soul Food: Week of March 16, 2025

This week’s respectfully offered daily meditations:

Sunday: War is hell. There is no use trying to reform it. The sooner it is over the better. Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman

Monday: The best way to end the bloodshed is to move forward … I propose to fight it out along this line if it takes all summer. Gen. U.S. Grant

Tuesday: There has never been a just [war], never an honorable one – on the part of the instigator of the war. Mark Twain

Wednesday: War is politics and politics is war. Carl Von Clausewitz

Thursday: To the victor belongs the spoils. Andrew Jackson

Friday: The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. Lincoln at Gettysburg

Saturday: Old soldiers never die, they just fade away. Gen. Douglas MacArthur
