“War is such a dangerous business that mistakes that come from kindness are the very worst.”
Carl von Clausewitz book On War
Source: On War (1832), Book 1, Chapter 1, Section 3, Paragraph 1.
Context: Kind-hearted people might of course think there was some ingenious way to disarm or defeat the enemy without too much bloodshed, and might imagine this is the true goal of the art of war.

Astrophel and Other Poems (1894)
Context: Not from without us, only from within,

Whereby the soul keeps ever truth in sight.
No truth, no strength, no comfort man may win,
No grace for guidance, no release from sin,
Save of his own soul's giving.
