A conqueror is always a lover of peace.

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

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

The choice is not between violence and nonviolence but between nonviolence and nonexistence.

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

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

All the forces in the world are not so powerful as an idea whose time has come.

Ideas are far more powerful than guns. We don't let our people have guns. Why should we let them have ideas?

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

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.

The control of a large force is the same principle as the control of a few men: it is merely a question of dividing uptheir numbers.

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

When men take up arms to set other men free, there is something sacred and holy in the warfare.

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.

Theres class warfare, all right, but its my class, the rich class, thats making war, and were winning.

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

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

It is very queer that the unhappiness of the world is so often brought on by small men.

Demoralize the enemy from within by surprise, terror, sabotage, assassination. This is the war of the future.

I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.

All warfare is based on deception.
