Later on, this custom declined. So did Rome.: Excerpt from the notebooks of Lazarus Long, from Robert Heinlein's "Time Enough for Love"

The ghost of Hitler would referee. Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forgot this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and there freedoms.: Robert Heinlein (1907 - 1988)
