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

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

War is over ... If you want it.

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

Brutality to an animal is cruelty to mankind - it is only the difference in the victim.

From the happy expression on their faces you might have supposed that they welcomed the war. I have met with men who loved stamps, and stones, and snakes, but I could not imagine any man loving war.

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

No one can guarantee success in war, but only deserve it.

I don't like war. I particularly don't like the celebration of war, which I think the administration is a little bit guilty of.

Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

Either war is obsolete, or men are.

In war, as in life, it is often necessary, when some cherished scheme has failed, to take up the best alternative open, and if so, it is folly not to work for it with all your might.

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

You don't reason with intellectuals. You shoot them.

The central defect of evil is not sin but the refusal to acknowledge sin.

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

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.

How do you defeat terrorism? Don’t be terrorized.

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

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