John Milton, poet

Who overcomes by force hath overcome but half his foe. -John Milton, poet (1608-1674)

Would that it were always so, but I think that in fact it is only true if the one conquered by force is of a certain strong character. I am afraid, though, that in our time at least many men do not have it within them to remain unconquered in their minds, hearts, and spirits once they have been subdued by external force. For example, in Nazi Europe the Resistance grew up in many places, but there were also many collaborators.
