Wars are fought to gain a certain objective. war itself is not the objective; victory is not the objective; you fight to remove the obstruction that comes in the way of your objective. if you let victory become the end in itself then you've gone astray and forgotten what you were originally fighting about.

Economics is a theoretical science and as such abstains from any judgement of value. it is not its task to tell people what ends they should aim at. it is a science of the means to be applied for attainment of ends chosen, not, to be sure, a science of the choosing of ends. ultimate decisions, the valuations and the choosing of ends, are beyond the scope of any science. science never tells a man how he should act; it merely shows how a man must act if he wants to attain definite ends.

The paid wealth which hundreds in the community acquire in trade, or by the incessant expansions of our population and arts, enchants the eyes of all the rest; the luck of one is the hope of thousands, and the bribe acts like the neighborhood of a gold mine to impoverish the farm, the school, the church, the house, and the very body and feature of man.
