Never was anything great achieved without danger

Battles are lost in the same spirit in which they are won.

The safest road to Hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.

Know yourself and you will win all battles.

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

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

If the Nuremberg laws were applied, then every post-war American president would have been hanged.

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.

No one can guarantee success in war, but only deserve it.

From the happy expression on their faces you might have supposed that they welcomed the war. I have met with men who loved stamps, and stones, and snakes, but I could not imagine any man loving war.

A war between Europeans is a civil war.

The evils which sapped the nation's strength had all been wrought in the name of religion.

War is over ... If you want it.

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

People are free to campaign and they will be free to vote. There won't be any soldiers, you know, at the queues. Anyone who has the right to vote is free to go and cast his vote anywhere in his own area, in his own constituency.

As soon as men decide that all means are permitted to fight an evil, then their good becomes indistinguishable from the evil that they set out to destroy.

Wars come and go, but my soldiers stay eternal

All the forces in the world are not so powerful as an idea whose time has come.

It is very queer that the unhappiness of the world is so often brought on by small men.

When anger rises, think of the consequences.

Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.
