No one prays more loudly than the hypocrite and none so smug as the devil when a saint he would be.
During long years the military machine had been under construction.
Human ingenuity had been reduced to a remarkable state of organization and efficiency.

One of the principal phases of Kultur was the inauguration of a sort of scientific discipline which made the German people not only soldiers in the field, but soldiers in the workshop, in the laboratory and at the desk.

The system extended to the schools and universities and permeated the thought of the nation.

It particularly was reflected in the home; the domestic arrangements and customs of the people.
