Heaven cannot brook two suns, nor earth two masters.

Know yourself and you will win all battles.

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.

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

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

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

The control of a large force is the same principle as the control of a few men: it is merely a question of dividing uptheir numbers.

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

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.

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

Wars come and go, but my soldiers stay eternal

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

I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent

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

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

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

There is no avoiding war; it can only be postponed to the advantage of others.

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

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

Never was anything great achieved without danger

A conqueror is always a lover of peace.
