If the people of Germany and Japan are made to realize thoroughly that the world is not going to let them break out again, it is possible, and, I hope, probable, that they will abandon the philosophy of aggression the belief that they can gain the whole world even at the risk of losing their own souls.
He had continual contentions with the Empress, and urged her to improve her finances by conquest or aggression; but all the power he could obtain was the command of the troops, which he augmented to two hundred thousand men, and organized them under the counsel of his field marshal, Lacy.
During the four days and five nights comprised in this interval, all aggression was forbidden; no slaying, wounding, pillaging, or burning could take place; but from sunrise on Monday to sunset on Wednesday, for three clays and two nights, any violence became allowable, any crime might recommence.
A life of constant external enmity generates a code in which aggression, conquest, revenge, are inculcated, while peaceful occupations are reprobated.

When trouble arises without, it is the State that calls together its armed men for aggression or for defense. When trouble arises within such as strikes, riots, and insurrections it is the State that is supposed to deal with them. Individuals, no matter how powerful, are not to-day permitted to organize armies to invade a foreign land, to subdue its people, and to wrest from them their property.
There was little need to fear that the new law would stand in the way of the power of the ecclesiastical estate. A more distinct challenge to the Church was provoked by a further aggression of Peckham in 1281.
History teaches that, when powerful despots can gain something through aggression, they try, by the same methods, to gain more and more and more.
