abiding faith in the cause of human freedom. We know it is
God's cause.

A good cause
can become bad if we fight for it with means that are
indiscriminately murderous. A bad cause can become good if
enough people fight for it in a spirit of comradeship and
self-sacrifice. In the end it is how you fight, as much as
why you fight, that makes your cause good or bad.
-- Freeman Dyson
