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

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

Some people are contriving ways and means of making us collapse.

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

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

Theres class warfare, all right, but its my class, the rich class, thats making war, and were winning.

Battles are lost in the same spirit in which they are won.

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

Know yourself and you will win all battles.

Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

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

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.

There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.

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

Great is the guilt of an unnecessary war.

War isnt declared in the name of God; it is a human affair entirely.

Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.

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

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

When men take up arms to set other men free, there is something sacred and holy in the warfare.
