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

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

There is a road from the eye to the heart that does not go through the intellect.

All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.

All warfare is based on deception.

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.

Those who play with the devil's toys will be brought by degrees to wield his sword.

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

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

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

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

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

The end move in politics is always to pick up a gun.

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.

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

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

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

An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind.

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

Either war is obsolete, or men are.

Yippies, Hippies, Yahoos, Black Panthers, lions and tigers alike - I would swap the whole damn zoo for the kind of young Americans I saw in Vietnam.
