If we don't end war, war will end us.

Battles are lost in the same spirit in which they are won.

There was never a bad peace or a good war.

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

A war between Europeans is a civil war.

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

It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.

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

There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.

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

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.

Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win

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

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

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

The safest road to Hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.
