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

There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.

To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.

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

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

There was never a bad peace or a good war.

Great is the guilt of an unnecessary war.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

If you try to cure evil with evil you will add more pain to your fate.
