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

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

There is no instance of a nation benefiting from prolonged warfare

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

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

What is evil? - Whatever springs from weakness.

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

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

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

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

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

War is mainly a catalogue of blunders.

Know yourself and you will win all battles.

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.

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

It is only the dead who have seen the end of war

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.

To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.

Everyone’s worried about stopping terrorism. Well, there’s really an easy way: Stop participating in it.

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime.
