War is mainly a catalogue of blunders.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.

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

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

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.

Education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.

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

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.

There are causes worth dying for, but none worth killing for.

Wanton killing of innocent civilians is terrorism, not a war against terrorism.

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

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

An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind.

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

There is a road from the eye to the heart that does not go through the intellect.

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

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

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

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

Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.

Heaven cannot brook two suns, nor earth two masters.
