There are causes worth dying for, but none worth killing for.

Never was anything great achieved without danger

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.

The choice is not between violence and nonviolence but between nonviolence and nonexistence.

There is no instance of a nation benefiting from prolonged warfare

When anger rises, think of the consequences.

Any alliance whose purpose is not the intention to wage war is senseless and useless.

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

As soon as men decide that all means are permitted to fight an evil, then their good becomes indistinguishable from the evil that they set out to destroy.

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.

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

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

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

Know yourself and you will win all battles.

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

Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.

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.

What is evil? - Whatever springs from weakness.

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

Great is the guilt of an unnecessary war.

Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal.
