"A conquest can be a praiseworthy thing, and there are times when war becomes the powerful basis of peace.. for example, a high-minded sovereign marshals his troupes to block the onset of the.. aggressor, or.. to unify a divided state and people.. this seeming wrath is mercy itself, and this apparent tyranny the very substance of justice and this warfare the cornerstone of peace.." ('Abdul-Baha)
(172:2)
