War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things.  
The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic 
feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.

The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight,
nothing which is more im****tant than his own personal safety,
is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless 
made so and kept so by the exertions of much better men than himself.

John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873) English economist and philosopher.
