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

The end move in politics is always to pick up a gun.

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

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

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.

All warfare is based on deception.

Yippies, Hippies, Yahoos, Black Panthers, lions and tigers alike - I would swap the whole damn zoo for the kind of young Americans I saw in Vietnam.

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.

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

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

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

When anger rises, think of the consequences.

The choice is not between violence and nonviolence but between nonviolence and nonexistence.

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

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

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

Great is the guilt of an unnecessary war.

There was never a bad peace or a good war.

Never was anything great achieved without danger
