"There is no glory in battle worth the blood it costs."
Dwight Eisenhower
"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
"You punch me, I punch back. I do not believe it's good for ones self-respect to be a punching bag."
Victor Hugo
"There are only two forces in the world, the sword and the spirit. In the long run the sword will always be conquered by the spirit."
Napoleon Bonaparte
"The only defensible war is a war of defense."
GK Chesterton
"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
"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
"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.
"It is an unfortunate fact that we can secure peace only by preparing for war."
John F. Kennedy
"I deplore the need or the use of troops anywhere to get American citizens to obey the orders of constituted courts."
Dwight Eisenhower
"If the United Nations once admits that international disputes can be settled by using force, then we will have destroyed the foundation of the organization and our best hope of establishing a world order."
Dwight Eisenhower
"You don't need to be 'straight' to fight and die for your country. You just need to shoot straight."
Barry Goldwater
"My first wish is to see this plague of mankind, war, banished from the earth."
George Washington
"War - an act of violence whose object is to constrain the enemy, to accomplish our will."
George Washington
"The purpose of all wars, is peace."
Saint Augustine
"It is the unconquerable nature of man and not the nature of the weapon he uses that ensures victory."
George Patton
"War is fear cloaked in courage."
William Westmoreland
"If they want peace, nations should avoid the pin-pricks that precede cannon shots."
Napoleon Bonaparte
"I feel impelled to speak today in a language that in a sense is new-one which I, who have spent so much of my life in the military profession, would have preferred never to use. That new language is the language of atomic warfare."
Dwight Eisenhower
"Without a doubt, psychological warfare has proven its right to a place of dignity in our military arsenal."
Dwight Eisenhower
