War Hands Goes On

More From Rutherford B. Hayes

Disunion and civil war are at hand; and yet i fear disunion and war less than compromise. we can recover from them. the free states alone, if we must go on alone, will make a glorious nation. twenty millions in the temperate zone, stretching from the atlantic to the pacific, full of vigor, industry, inventive genius, educated, and moral; increasing by immigration rapidly, and, above all, free--all free--will form a confederacy of twenty states scarcely inferior in real power to the unfortunate union of thirty-three states which we had on the first of november.
Real War Hands
We fear the past, present and future. we fear the unknown, we fear not having enough, losing what we have, not having what we want. we fear what will become of us and those that we care for. we fear what others think of us and what they don't think of us. we fear, fear, fear and therefore we are controllable through the manipulation of all that we fear. the present war on terror is the war of fear. no fear, no control.
War Thinking Past
Let me make it very clear: when i say compromise i do not mean capitulation. when i say compromise i definitely do not mean what jesus christ meant when he offered us to turn our other cheek to our enemies. compromise means, try to meet the other somewhere half-way. and, this can only happen if the other is willing to go half-way in order to meet you. that is the very strict line between compromise and capitulation. i'm a great believer in compromises. i do not believe in capitulation.
Jesus Believe Mean
The opposite of compromise is not integrity. the opposite of compromise is not idealism. the opposite of compromise is fanaticism and death. and yes, i know one or two things about fanaticism and death, and i reject them. the alternative to fanaticism and to death is not some miraculous realization that someone has been wrong and he has to apologize. no, the answer to fanaticism and to death is curiosity and compromise and concession.
Integrity Curiosity Realization

Jesus Mean Order
If you do it first class and you don't compromise values, and you don't compromise quality, and you don't compromise service, and you don't compromise cleanliness, then everybody else who is the competitor has got to play catch-up.

The trade of advertising is now so near to perfection that it is not easy to propose any improvement. but as every art ought to be exercized in due subordination to the public good, i cannot but propose it as a moral question to these masters of the public ear, whether they do not sometimes play too wantonly with our passions.
