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

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

It is only one who is thoroughly acquainted with the evils of warthat can thoroughly understand the profitable way of carrying it on.

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

Never ascribe to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence.

All warfare is based on deception.

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

Know yourself and you will win all battles.

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

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

I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.

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

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

A conqueror is always a lover of peace.

What is evil? - Whatever springs from weakness.

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

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