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

All warfare is based on deception.

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

Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal.

Brutality to an animal is cruelty to mankind - it is only the difference in the victim.

All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

Any alliance whose purpose is not the intention to wage war is senseless and useless.

There was never a bad peace or a good war.

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

You don't reason with intellectuals. You shoot them.

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