Know yourself and you will win all battles.

Do not let us speak of darker days; let us speak rather of sterner days. These are not dark days: these are great days - the greatest days our country has ever lived.

Either war is obsolete, or men are.

There is no safety for honest men except by believing all possible evil of evil men.

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

Everyone’s worried about stopping terrorism. Well, there’s really an easy way: Stop participating in it.

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.

When anger rises, think of the consequences.

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

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

Some people are contriving ways and means of making us collapse.

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

To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.

Theres class warfare, all right, but its my class, the rich class, thats making war, and were winning.

Hatred is gained as much by good works as by evil.
