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

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.

Wars come and go, but my soldiers stay eternal

The earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed

The central defect of evil is not sin but the refusal to acknowledge sin.

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

There was never a bad peace or a good war.

I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent

A war between Europeans is a civil war.

The evils which sapped the nation's strength had all been wrought in the name of religion.

Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win

War is over ... If you want it.

All warfare is based on deception.

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

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

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

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

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.

Either war is obsolete, or men are.

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

Unless a nation's life faces peril, war is murder.
