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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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