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

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

It may be necessary to use methods other than constitutional ones.

Know your enemy and know yourself and you will always be victorious

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

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.

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

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

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.

War is over ... If you want it.

A conqueror is always a lover of peace.

When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.

Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

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

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

There is no safety for honest men except by believing all possible evil of evil men.

How do you defeat terrorism? Don’t be terrorized.

Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.

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.

It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.
