The safest road to Hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.

Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win

A war between Europeans is a civil war.

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

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

War is just when it is necessary; arms are permissible when there is no hope except in arms.

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.

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

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

When there's a person, there's a problem. When there's no person, there's no problem

Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.

If the Nuremberg laws were applied, then every post-war American president would have been hanged.

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

Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

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

You don't reason with intellectuals. You shoot them.

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

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

No one can guarantee success in war, but only deserve it.

What is evil? - Whatever springs from weakness.

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