Without action, words are just words. Without violence, laws are just words. Violence isn’t the only answer, but it is the final answer.

Violence isn't the only answer, but it is the final answer.

When someone tells a man to be a man, they mean that there is a way to be a man. A man is not just a thing to be-it is also a way to be, a path to follow and a way to walk. Some try to make manhood mean everything. Others believe that it means nothing at all. Being good at being a man can't mean everything, and it has always meant something.

Men of ideas and men of action have much to learn from each other, and the truly great are men of both action and abstraction.
