"A bad peace is even worse than war."
Tacitus
"A tyrant is always stirring up some war or other, in order that the people may require a leader."
Plato
"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
"All men are timid on entering any fight. Whether it is the first or the last fight, all of us are timid. Cowards are those who let their timidity get the better of their manhood."
George Patton
"All war is deception."
Sun Tzu
"An unjust peace is better than a just war."
Marcus Tullius Cicero
"As long as war is regarded as wicked it will always have its fascinations. When it is looked upon as vulgar, it will cease to be popular."
Oscar Wilde
"Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace."
Siddhartha Buddha
"Between two groups of people who want to make inconsistent kinds of worlds, I see no remedy but force."
Oliver Wendell Holmes
"But could not our situation be compared to one of a menacing epidemic? People are unable to view this situation in its true light, for their eyes are blinded by passion. General fear and anxiety create hatred and aggressiveness. The adaptation to warlike aims and activities has corrupted the mentality of man; as a result, intelligent, objective and humane thinking has hardly any effect and is even suspected and persecuted as unpatriotic."
Albert Einstein
"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
"Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men, between brothers?"
Victor Hugo
"Demoralize the enemy from within by surprise, terror, sabotage, assassination. This is the war of the future."
Adolf Hitler
"Do not needlessly endanger your lives until I give you the signal."
Dwight Eisenhower
"Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft!"
Theodore Roosevelt
"Either war is obsolete or men are."
Buckminster Fuller
"Ernest Hemingway once wrote, 'The world is a fine place and worth fighting for.' I agree with the second part."
Morgan Freeman
"Even peace may be purchased at too high a price."
Benjamin Franklin
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
Dwight Eisenhower
"Everyone's a pacifist between wars. It's like being a vegetarian between meals."
Colman McCarthy
