" When wicked men attack us with a view to overwhelm us, either   by force or fraud, we know how difficult it is to preserve always the   same fortitude. We place our hope of victory in endeavoring resolutely   and vigorously to oppose force to force, and art to art. And this is a   temptation which so much the more affects honest and steady men, who   are otherwise zealous to do well, when the cruelty of their enemies   compels them to turn aside from the right path. "
