More than either it resembles a family, a rather stuffy Victorian family, with not many black sheep in it but with all its cupboards bursting with skeletons. It has rich relations who have to be kow-towed to and poor relations who are horribly sat upon, and there is a deep conspiracy of silence about the source of the family income. It is a family in which the young are generally thwarted and most of the power is in the hands of irresponsible uncles and bedridden aunts. Still, it is a family. It has its private language and its common memories, and at the approach of an enemy it closes its ranks. A family with the wrong members in control - that, perhaps is as near as one can come to describing England in a phrase.","author":"George Orwell","tags":["age","conspiracy","control","defence","england","family","privacy","secrets"],"id":61641,"author_id":"George+Orwell"},{"text":"Civilians enjoy their time because soldiers sacrifice their time.","author":"Amit Kalantri","tags":["adage","advertisement","alliterations","amit-kalantri","amit-kalantri","amit-kalantri-writer","armed-forces","army","book-writing","catch-lines","catchphrases","characters","citizen","civilian","civilians","country","creative-writing","defence","enjoy","essay","foreign-attack","india","indian-army","indian-","inspirational","knowledge","motivational","movie","movie-dialogue","nation","novel-writing","philosophy","protecting-country","protection","proverbs","public-speaking","punchline","quotes","rhetoric","sacrifice","script","script-writing","scriptwriting","soldiers","speech","speechwriting","story","tag-lines","time","wisdom","writing"],"id":66032,"author_id":"Amit+Kalantri"},{"text":"Why spend your life working on defense when no defense can be made truly impenetrable?

Hence its struggle is less defensive than offensive. It therefore has the advantage even in determining the goal, since this goal represents the victory of its own idea, while, conversely,it is hard to determine when the negative aim of the destruction of a hostile doctrine may be regarded as achieved and assured. For this reason alone, the philosophy's offensive will be more systematic and also more powerful than the defensive against a philosophy, since here, too, as always, the attack and not the defence makes the decision. The fight against a spiritual power with methods of violence remains defensive, however, until the sword becomes the support,the herald and disseminator, of a new spiritual doctrine.","author":"Adolf Hitler","tags":["defence","destruction","doctrine","offense","philosophy","power","spiritual","struggle"],"id":114138,"author_id":"Adolf+Hitler"},{"text":"We have to distrust each other.
