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

Never was anything great achieved without danger

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

Great is the guilt of an unnecessary war.

An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind.

If we don't end war, war will end us.

Those who play with the devil's toys will be brought by degrees to wield his sword.

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

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.

If you try to cure evil with evil you will add more pain to your fate.

Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

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

All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.

The control of a large force is the same principle as the control of a few men: it is merely a question of dividing uptheir numbers.

The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.

It is only one who is thoroughly acquainted with the evils of warthat can thoroughly understand the profitable way of carrying it on.

In war, as in life, it is often necessary, when some cherished scheme has failed, to take up the best alternative open, and if so, it is folly not to work for it with all your might.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

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

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