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

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

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

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.

Demoralize the enemy from within by surprise, terror, sabotage, assassination. This is the war of the future.

Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.

Evil has no capital of its own. It is a parasite on goodness.

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

Heaven cannot brook two suns, nor earth two masters.

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

The safest road to Hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.

Great is the guilt of an unnecessary war.
