"Pacifism is objectively pro-fascist. This is elementary common sense. If you hamper the war effort of one side, you automatically help out that of the other. Nor is there any real way of remaining outside such a war as the present one. In practice, 'he that is not with me is against me.'""
George Orwell
"War can only be abolished through war, and in order to get rid of the gun it is necessary to take up the gun."
Mao Zedong
"To wage a war for a purely moral reason is as absurd as to ravish a woman for a purely moral reason."
Henry Mencken
"Warmaking doesn't stop warmaking. If it did, our problems would have stopped millennia ago."
Colman McCarthy
"Everyone's a pacifist between wars. It's like being a vegetarian between meals."
Colman McCarthy
"Of course the people dont want war...that is understood. But voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."
Hermann Goering
"True pacifism is not unrealistic submission to an evil power...it is rather a courageous confrontation with evil by the power of love, in the faith that it is better to be the recipient of violence than the inflicter of it, since the latter only multiplies the existence of violence and bitterness in the universe, while the former may develop a sense of shame in the opponent, and thereby bring about a transformation and change of heart."
Martin Luther King Jr.
"War is an instrument entirely inefficient toward redressing wrong; and multiplies, instead of indemnifying losses."
Thomas Jefferson
"A vital element in keeping the peace is our military establishment. Our arms must be mighty, ready for instant action, so that no potential aggressor may be temped to risk his own destruction."
Dwight Eisenhower
"Let him who desires peace prepare for war."
Vegetius
"All war is deception."
Sun Tzu
"We are going to have peace even if we have to fight for it."
Dwight Eisenhower
"War does not determine who is right - only who is left."
Bertrand Russell
"Between two groups of people who want to make inconsistent kinds of worlds, I see no remedy but force."
Oliver Wendell Holmes
"Mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind."
John F. Kennedy
"There will one day spring from the brain of science a machine or force so fearful in its potentialities, so absolutely terrifying, that even man, the fighter, who will dare torture and death in order to inflict torture and death, will be appalled, and so abandon war forever."
Thomas Edison
"Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages."
Thomas Edison
"War - an act of violence whose object is to constrain the enemy, to accomplish our will."
George Washington
"Over grown military establishments are under any form of government inauspicious to liberty, and are to be regarded as particularly hostile to republican liberty."
George Washington
"My first wish is to see this plague of mankind, war, banished from the earth."
George Washington
