"Great is the guilt of an unnecessary war."
John Adams
"If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy."
James Madison
"We cannot be both the world’s leading champion of peace and the world’s leading supplier of arms."
Jimmy Carter
"What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is brought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?"
Mahatma Gandhi
"War is fear cloaked in courage."
William Westmoreland
"I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain."
John Adams
"We're in a war, dammit! We're going to have to offend somebody!"
John Adams
"This does not mean that the enemy is to be allowed to escape. The object is to make him believe that there is a road to safety, and thus prevent his fighting with the courage of despair. After that, you may crush him."
Sun Tzu
"Talk of imminent threat to our national security through the application of external force is pure nonsense. Indeed it is part of the general pattern of misguided policy that our country is now geared to an arms economy which was bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and nurtured upon an incessant propaganda of fear."
Douglas MacArthur
"Carry the battle to them. Don't let them bring it to you. Put them on the defensive. And don't ever apologize for anything."
Harry Truman
"Some of your countrymen were unable to distinguish between their native dislike for war and the stainless patriotism of those who suffered its scars. But there has been a rethinking and now we can say to you, and say as a nation, thank you for your courage."
Ronald Reagan
"It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."
Albert Einstein
"Heroism at command, senseless brutality, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action!"
Albert Einstein
"Men rise from one ambition to another. First they seek to secure themselves from attack, and then they attack others."
Nicolo Machiavelli
"War should be the only study of a prince."
Nicolo Machiavelli
"Rome remained free for four hundred years and Sparta eight hundred, although their citizens were armed all that time; but many other states that have been disarmed have lost their liberties in less than forty years."
Nicolo Machiavelli
"The constitution vests the power of declaring war in Congress; therefore no offensive expedition of importance can be undertaken until after they shall have deliberated upon the subject and authorized such a measure."
George Washington
"If we don’t end war, war will end us."
H.G. Wells
"If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."
Winston Churchill
"Politics are almost as exciting as war and quite as dangerous. In war you can only be killed once, but in politics, many times."
Winston Churchill
