War is mainly a catalogue of blunders.

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

Brutality to an animal is cruelty to mankind - it is only the difference in the victim.

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

There is no instance of a nation benefiting from prolonged warfare

When anger rises, think of the consequences.

Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal.

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

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

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.

Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

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.

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

Either war is obsolete, or men are.

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

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

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

In war, as in life, it is often necessary, when some cherished scheme has failed, to take up the best alternative open, and if so, it is folly not to work for it with all your might.

When the enemy is relaxed, make them toil. When full, starve them. When settled, make them move.

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