"A tyrant is always stirring up some war or other, in order that the people may require a leader."
Plato
"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
"There are some who've forgotten why we have a military. It's not to promote war; it's to be prepared for peace."
Ronald Reagan
"History teaches that wars begin when governments believe the price of aggression is cheap."
Ronald Reagan
"The purpose of all wars, is peace."
Saint Augustine
"Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace."
Siddhartha Buddha
"All war is deception."
Sun Tzu
"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
"A bad peace is even worse than war."
Tacitus
"He that fights and runs away, may turn and fight another day; but he that is in battle slain, will never rise to fight again."
Tacitus
"It is only necessary to make war with five things: with the maladies of the body, with the ignorances of the mind, with the passions of the body, with the seditions of the city, with the discords of families."
Tacitus
"Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft!"
Theodore Roosevelt
"If I must choose between righteousness and peace, I choose righteousness."
Theodore Roosevelt
"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
"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
"War is an instrument entirely inefficient toward redressing wrong; and multiplies, instead of indemnifying losses."
Thomas Jefferson
"Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it."
Thomas Jefferson
"It is the madness of folly, to expect mercy from those who have refused to do justice; and even mercy, where conquest is the object, is only a trick of war; the cunning of the fox is as murderous as the violence of the wolf."
Thomas Paine
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
Thomas Jefferson
"Let him who desires peace prepare for war."
Vegetius
