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

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

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

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

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.

There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.

Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

Yippies, Hippies, Yahoos, Black Panthers, lions and tigers alike - I would swap the whole damn zoo for the kind of young Americans I saw in Vietnam.

Even the finest sword plunged into salt water will eventually rust.

A war between Europeans is a civil war.

Hatred is gained as much by good works as by evil.

Either war is obsolete, or men are.

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

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

Evil has no capital of its own. It is a parasite on goodness.

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

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

All warfare is based on deception.

There was never a bad peace or a good war.

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