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.

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

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

There is no instance of a nation benefiting from prolonged warfare

Wanton killing of innocent civilians is terrorism, not a war against terrorism.

War isnt declared in the name of God; it is a human affair entirely.

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

Either war is obsolete, or men are.

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

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

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

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

War is mainly a catalogue of blunders.

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

Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.

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

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.

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.

We are no longer going to ask for the land, but we are going to take it without negotiating.

To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.

Great is the guilt of an unnecessary war.
