War is mainly a catalogue of blunders.

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

Occasionally the tree of Liberty must be watered with the blood of Patriots and Tyrants.

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

There is a road from the eye to the heart that does not go through the intellect.

Wars come and go, but my soldiers stay eternal

The end move in politics is always to pick up a gun.

There was never a bad peace or a good war.

Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.

Either war is obsolete, or men are.

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

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.

Everything in war is very simple. But the simplest thing is difficult.

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

There is no safety for honest men except by believing all possible evil of evil men.

A conqueror is always a lover of peace.

War is over ... If you want it.

Know your enemy and know yourself and you will always be victorious

Know yourself and you will win all battles.

The choice is not between violence and nonviolence but between nonviolence and nonexistence.

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