Never was anything great achieved without danger

When the enemy is relaxed, make them toil. When full, starve them. When settled, make them move.

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

A war between Europeans is a civil war.

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

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

Hatred is gained as much by good works as by evil.

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.

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

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

War is mainly a catalogue of blunders.

There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.

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