"If we justify war, it is because all peoples always
justify the traits of which they find themselves
possessed, not because war will bear an objective
examination of its merits."

Friday Philosophy
The other day I posted a quote from Franz Boas. Now, here's one I like from his protege, Ruth Benedict (1887-1948):
"If we justify war, it is because all peoples always
justify the traits of which they find themselves
possessed, not because war will bear an objective
examination of its merits."
"If we justify war, it is because all peoples always
justify the traits of which they find themselves
possessed, not because war will bear an objective
examination of its merits."
