Henri Ducard/Ra's Al Ghul "The training is nothing! The will is everything! The will to act." Henri Ducard/Ra's Al Ghul "Men fear most what they cannot see." Henri Ducard/Ra's Al Ghul "Only a cynical man would call what these people have "lives," Wayne. Crime. Despair. This is not how man was supposed to live. The League of Shadows has been a check against human corruption for thousands of years. We sacked Rome; loaded trade ships with plague rats; burned London to the ground. Every time a civilization reaches the pinnacle of its decadence, we return to restore the balance."
