Sydney J. Harris Quote

"Terrorism" is what we call the violence of the weak, and we condemn it; "war" is what we call the violence of the strong, and we glorify it.


Clearing the ground (ed. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 1986)


Terrorism is what we call the violence of the weak, and we condemn it; war is what we call the violence of the strong, and we glorify it.

Terrorism is what we call the violence of the weak, and we condemn it; war is what we call the violence of the strong, and we glorify it.

Terrorism is what we call the violence of the weak, and we condemn it; war is what we call the violence of the strong, and we glorify it.

Terrorism is what we call the violence of the weak, and we condemn it; war is what we call the violence of the strong, and we glorify it.
