I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.

To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but theopportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.

Occasionally the tree of Liberty must be watered with the blood of Patriots and Tyrants.

Education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.

Demoralize the enemy from within by surprise, terror, sabotage, assassination. This is the war of the future.

Know your enemy and know yourself and you will always be victorious

There was never a bad peace or a good war.

Unless a nation's life faces peril, war is murder.

It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.

Even the finest sword plunged into salt water will eventually rust.

A person may cause evil to others not only by his actions but by his inaction, and in either case he is justly accountable to them for the injury.

Great is the guilt of an unnecessary war.

Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win

Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men, between brothers?

I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent

You don't reason with intellectuals. You shoot them.

Everyone’s worried about stopping terrorism. Well, there’s really an easy way: Stop participating in it.

Know yourself and you will win all battles.

There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.

Listen up - there's no war that will end all wars

Ideas are far more powerful than guns. We don't let our people have guns. Why should we let them have ideas?
