I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent

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.

Heaven cannot brook two suns, nor earth two masters.

All warfare is based on deception.

Everyone’s worried about stopping terrorism. Well, there’s really an easy way: Stop participating in it.

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

What is evil? - Whatever springs from weakness.

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

How do you defeat terrorism? Don’t be terrorized.

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.

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

Battles are lost in the same spirit in which they are won.

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

I don't like war. I particularly don't like the celebration of war, which I think the administration is a little bit guilty of.

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

Know yourself and you will win all battles.

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

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

The earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed

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