Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.

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

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

It may be necessary to use methods other than constitutional ones.

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

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

A war between Europeans is a civil war.

No one can guarantee success in war, but only deserve it.

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

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.

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

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

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

A person may cause evil to others not only by his actions but by his inaction, and in either case he is justly accountable to them for the injury.

Those who play with the devil's toys will be brought by degrees to wield his sword.

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

Unless a nation's life faces peril, war is murder.

Never was anything great achieved without danger

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

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

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