Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.

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

Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men, between brothers?

There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.

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

There is no instance of a nation benefiting from prolonged warfare

War is mainly a catalogue of blunders.

An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind.

There is no avoiding war; it can only be postponed to the advantage of others.

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

There was never a bad peace or a good war.

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.

It is very queer that the unhappiness of the world is so often brought on by small men.

Never was anything great achieved without danger

It is only one who is thoroughly acquainted with the evils of warthat can thoroughly understand the profitable way of carrying it on.

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

Listen up - there's no war that will end all wars

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

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

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