  1. A quotation from Mark Twain

       “You heard these words: ‘Grant us the victory, O Lord our God!’ That is sufficient. The whole of the uttered prayer is compact into those pregnant words. Elaborations were not necessary. When you have prayed for victory you have prayed for many unmentioned results which follow victory — must follow it, cannot help but follow it. Upon the listening spirit of God fell also the unspoken part of the prayer. He commandeth me to put it into words. Listen!
       “O Lord our Father, our young patriots, idols of our hearts, go forth to battle — be Thou near them! With them — in spirit — we also go forth from the sweet peace of our beloved firesides to smite the foe. O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with their little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it — for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
       (After a pause.) “Ye have prayed it; if ye still desire it, speak! The messenger of the Most High waits!”

    Mark Twain (1835-1910) American writer [pseud. of Samuel Clemens]
    Story (1905), “The War Prayer”

       MYCROFT: You’ve met him. How many friends do you imagine he has? I’m the closest thing to a friend that Sherlock Holmes is capable of having.
       WATSON: And what’s that?
       MYCROFT: An enemy.
       WATSON: An enemy?
       MYCROFT: In his mind, certainly. If you were to ask him, he’d probably say an arch-enemy. He does love to be dramatic.
       WATSON: Well, thank God you’re above all that.

    Steven Moffat (b. 1961) Scottish television writer, producer
    Sherlock, 01×01 “A Study in Pink” (2010-07-25)

  28. @LydiaConwell

    This person (Eugen #Rochko), intentionally referenced by his ridiculously immature account name, has to be purged from the #Fediverse. His proverbial gloves against us are off and so are mine, now. Hence: "#Gargron" has to die — digitally. That's all I'm saying and I'm not advocating for anything more, except that Rochko's ties to '#Israel' should be thoroughly investigated (his extremely malign influence on #Mastodon and the Fediverse might amount to the crime of aiding and abetting #genocide which, by the way, is a capital offense in 'Israel' and as such, punishable by #death). Of course, that doesn't mean in any way whatsoever that I don't despise Rochko and his racist clique to the core. As a compassionate being, I most certainly do, for he's an #enemy and a #disgrace to #humanity. #EndGargronNow
