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

We are no longer going to ask for the land, but we are going to take it without negotiating.

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

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

War isnt declared in the name of God; it is a human affair entirely.

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.

All warfare is based on deception.

Ideas are far more powerful than guns. We don't let our people have guns. Why should we let them have ideas?

A conqueror is always a lover of peace.

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

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

Wars come and go, but my soldiers stay eternal

If the Nuremberg laws were applied, then every post-war American president would have been hanged.

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.

Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

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

Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.

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

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

Great is the guilt of an unnecessary war.
