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

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

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

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

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

How do you defeat terrorism? Don’t be terrorized.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

Even the finest sword plunged into salt water will eventually rust.

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

A conqueror is always a lover of peace.

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

War is mainly a catalogue of blunders.

There is no instance of a nation benefiting from prolonged warfare

War is over ... If you want it.

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

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

When anger rises, think of the consequences.

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

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

Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime.

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