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

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

All warfare is based on deception.

Great is the guilt of an unnecessary war.

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.

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

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.

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

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

There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed

It is only the dead who have seen the end of war

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