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

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

Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.

If we don't end war, war will end us.

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.

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

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.

War is just when it is necessary; arms are permissible when there is no hope except in arms.

Heaven cannot brook two suns, nor earth two masters.

Those who play with the devil's toys will be brought by degrees to wield his sword.

The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.

Never ascribe to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence.

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

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

To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but theopportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.

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

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

Wars come and go, but my soldiers stay eternal

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.

When the enemy is relaxed, make them toil. When full, starve them. When settled, make them move.

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