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

The central defect of evil is not sin but the refusal to acknowledge sin.

Never ascribe to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence.

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

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.

Never was anything great achieved without danger

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

Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime.

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

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

You can not lead a battle if you think you look silly on a horse.

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

There was never a bad peace or a good war.

It may be necessary to use methods other than constitutional ones.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

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

Some people are contriving ways and means of making us collapse.

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.

War is over ... If you want it.

A war between Europeans is a civil war.

There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.
