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

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

If the Nuremberg laws were applied, then every post-war American president would have been hanged.

We are no longer going to ask for the land, but we are going to take it without negotiating.

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

There is no instance of a nation benefiting from prolonged warfare

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

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

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

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

Everything in war is very simple. But the simplest thing is difficult.

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

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

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.

When there's a person, there's a problem. When there's no person, there's no problem

Wars come and go, but my soldiers stay eternal

You don't reason with intellectuals. You shoot them.

Ideas are far more powerful than guns. We don't let our people have guns. Why should we let them have ideas?

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