إن اللين في القوة الرائعة أقوى من القوة نفسها، لانه يظهر لك موضع الرحمة فيها
والتواضع في الجمال أحسن من الجمال، لانه ينفي الغرور عنه.
وكل شيء من القوة لا مكان فيه لشيء من الرحمة فهو مما وضع الله على الناس من قوانين الهلاك

Bradshaw especially didn't like the use of the word "experiment" in regard to social conditions. Experiments included of necessity, expendable components. Failure was a precursor to success. When the components were human, who had the audacity to use, lose them, toss them away?
