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

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

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

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.

Some people are contriving ways and means of making us collapse.

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

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.

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

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

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

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

Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.

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

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

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

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

All the forces in the world are not so powerful as an idea whose time has come.

Never was anything great achieved without danger

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

It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.

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