Chapter viii, paragraph 2: “. . [t]he little imp fell a-squalling, and scratching, and biting with such violence, that i was forced to let it go; and it was high time, for a whole troop of old ones came about us at the noise, but finding the cub was safe . . they durst not venture near us. i observed the young animal’s flesh to smell very rank, and the stink was somewhat between a weasel and a fox . . ” chapter viii, paragraph 10: “friendship and benevolence are the two principled virtues among the houyhnhnms; and these not confined to particular objects, but universal to the whole race. . they preserve decency and civility in the highest degrees, but are altogether ignorant of ceremony. .

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
