Effective action is always unjust.

Courage

Until the day of his death, no man can be sure of his courage.

Heroes and Heroism

Listen, my friend, there are two races of beings. The masses teeming and happy --common clay, if you like --eating, breeding, working, counting their pennies; people who just live; ordinary people; people you can't imagine dead. And then there are the others --the noble ones, the heroes. The ones you can quite well imagine lying shot, pale and tragic; one minute triumphant with a guard of honor, and the next being marched away between two gendarmes.

Morality

The only immorality is not to do what one has to do when one has to do it.

Saints

Saintliness is also a temptation.
