| Most of the people who appear most
often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors and generals
and soldiers, whereas the people who really helped civilization forward are
often never mentioned at all. We do not know who first set a broken leg, or
launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the length of the year, or manured a
field; but we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think a great
deal of them, so much so that on all the highest pillars in the great cities of
the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And
I think most people believe that the greatest countries are those that have
beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as
conquerors. It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilized.
