Education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.

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

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

War is just when it is necessary; arms are permissible when there is no hope except in arms.

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

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

There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.

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

There was never a bad peace or a good war.
