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

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

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.

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

There is no avoiding war; it can only be postponed to the advantage of others.

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

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

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

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

Know yourself and you will win all battles.

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

If we don't end war, war will end us.

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.

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