A few quotes I've found helpful over time:

"One bleeding-heart type asked me in a recent interview if I did not agree that 'violence begets violence.' I told him that it is my earnest endeavor to see that it does.

That and "Another Country" are 2 of my favorite books, read and re-read over the years. Thank you!

 

FWIW 
"Another Country" title is a play on the L.P.Hartley quote "The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there."

--Thomas Jefferson

[Jeb48]

A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercise, I advise the gun. While this gives a moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks. - Thomas Jefferson 1785 Aug. 19 Letter to Peter Carr
