I tell you frankly, we keep our eye on Japan, and we build a good many commercial ships which would astonish you if you examined them thoroughly. Our National Guard, too, know a bit more about soldiering than their grandfathers. You people, on the other hand, seem to have become infatuated pacifists. I can't tell tales out of school, but I don't like the way things are going on eastwards.
Shop records showing the quickest time in which each job had been done and more or less shrewd guessing being the means on which the management depended for bargaining with and coercing the men; and deliberate soldiering for the purpose of misinforming the management being the weapon used by the men in self-defense.
Secretly he loved soldiering much better than life on the ranch, but in those days he never dreamed of the adventures on the battle-field which were still in store for him. The afternoon wore away slowly until the sun began to set behind the timber west of the ranch.
All the state and glories of soldiering, the bright uniforms, the feathers and spurs, the flags, the march-past, the disciplined massed advance, the charge; all these are as needless and obsolete now in war as the masks and shields of an old-time Chinese brave.
And they say that the World State soldiers are not even bred for soldiering but are picked from all classes. If they should decide to quit fighting, as you suggest, we also would have to quit it would intolerable it is bad enough now."

"It does not please me to do any such thing, for by my father Amen, Rames, I wish that we were children once more, for those were happy days before they separated us and set you to soldiering and me to statecraft." "You have learnt your part well, Star of the Morning," said Rames, glancing at her quickly.
"Seriously," she said, looking down at him with a grave face "seriously. My prayers should always be for any woman who became your wife you, and your soldiering. Ciel! it would kill any woman who really cared " She broke off and contemplated him as he lay at full length. "And she might care a little that poor woman."
"Wouldn't it" he spoke with a sudden gentleness, the gentleness of the surgeon handling a torn limb "wouldn't it help to straighten things out with Sara?" "If it did, it would only make matters worse. No. Take it from me, Herrick, that soldiering is the one thing of all others I can't do." He turned away as though to signify that the discussion was at an end. "I don't see it," persisted Miles.
Of course, the main fact about education is that there is no such thing. It does not exist, as theology or soldiering exist. Theology is a word like geology, soldiering is a word like soldering; these sciences may be healthy or no as hobbies; but they deal with stone and kettles, with definite things. But education is not a word like geology or kettles.
