A conqueror is always a lover of peace.

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

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.

Evil has no capital of its own. It is a parasite on goodness.

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.

Hatred is gained as much by good works as by evil.

If you try to cure evil with evil you will add more pain to your fate.

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

Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

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

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

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

Unless a nation's life faces peril, war is murder.

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