There is no brutality and cruelty in battles and wars; in reality only the outcome matters.

Shame without repentance doesn’t lose power when it is spoken, it only seeks approval.

Cruelty is a language that the blind can see, the deaf can hear, and the heart feels forever.

It's the worst kind of cruelty — the thoughtless kind. You can't cope with it.

We prayed these wars would end all wars --In war we know is no romance."(Done With Bonaparte)

Are we not all books waiting for someone to pick us up and read the pages that people missed?

Anger, resentment and jealousy doesn't change the heart of others-- it only changes yours.

...perhaps great sins start as simple weakness, and the consistent placing of self before others.

Live with an open mind and an open heart. Always choose love over fear and kindness over cruelty.

Emotion without reason lets people walk all over you; reason without emotion is a mask for cruelty.

We can never be gods, after all--but we can become something less than human with frightening ease.

I coudn't be kind to him after what he'd done, couldn't be cruel after what I had done

Do not build a castle around one act of kindness; do not build an empire around one act of cruelty.

Cruelty would be delicious if one could only find some sort of cruelty that didn’t really hurt.
