Wars come and go, but my soldiers stay eternal

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

War is mainly a catalogue of blunders.

How do you defeat terrorism? Don’t be terrorized.

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

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

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.

When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.

There is no avoiding war; it can only be postponed to the advantage of others.

There is no instance of a nation benefiting from prolonged warfare

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.

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.

There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.

War is over ... If you want it.

Any alliance whose purpose is not the intention to wage war is senseless and useless.

Great is the guilt of an unnecessary war.

It is only the dead who have seen the end of war

When anger rises, think of the consequences.

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

I don't like war. I particularly don't like the celebration of war, which I think the administration is a little bit guilty of.

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