Then we will subvert that King and seize his Throne and establish a Dy-nasty. Youll be cut to pieces before youre fifty miles across the Border, I said. You have to travel through Afghanistan to get to that country. Its one mass of mountains and peaks and glaciers, and no Englishman has been through it. The people are utter brutes, and even if you reached them you couldnt do anything.
You have failed in everything you have attempted, and you will continue to fail until you consider those moral principles those rules of conduct which the race has built up, guided by an unerring instinct of self-preservation.

These doubts give rise to that part of moral science called casuistry, which though necessary to be well studied by those who would become expert in that learning, who aim at becoming what I think Cicero somewhere calls artifices officiorum, it requires a very solid and discriminating judgment, great modesty and caution, and much sobriety of mind in the handling; else there is a danger that it may totally subvert those offices which it is its object only to methodize and reconcile.
