I don't like war. I particularly don't like the celebration of war, which I think the administration is a little bit guilty of.

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

Do not let us speak of darker days; let us speak rather of sterner days. These are not dark days: these are great days - the greatest days our country has ever lived.

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

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

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

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

People are free to campaign and they will be free to vote. There won't be any soldiers, you know, at the queues. Anyone who has the right to vote is free to go and cast his vote anywhere in his own area, in his own constituency.

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

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.

War is mainly a catalogue of blunders.

What is evil? - Whatever springs from weakness.

In war, as in life, it is often necessary, when some cherished scheme has failed, to take up the best alternative open, and if so, it is folly not to work for it with all your might.

There was never a bad peace or a good war.

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

There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.

When there's a person, there's a problem. When there's no person, there's no problem
