People Speaking - Common Sense

— "You just cannot explain anything that happens in this country with material common sense. You've been in the army, you've seen how it works - don't tell me that such an army could win the wars with common sense, courage and good planning. It could only be a miracle. All, all! of this country is run by miracles, overt and covert. So just sit and do nothing. Try the best you can, and let the miracles do the rest."
