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.

Know yourself and you will win all battles.

There was never a bad peace or a good war.

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

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

What is evil? - Whatever springs from weakness.

Either war is obsolete, or men are.

War is over ... If you want it.

Never was anything great achieved without danger

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

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

There is no instance of a nation benefiting from prolonged warfare

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

There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.

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

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

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

Wars come and go, but my soldiers stay eternal

Occasionally the tree of Liberty must be watered with the blood of Patriots and Tyrants.

Great is the guilt of an unnecessary war.
