In modern warfare there are no victors; there are only survivors.

Among the calamities of war may justly be numbered the diminution of the love of truth.

I have not yet begun to fight.

No state at war with another state should engage in hostilities of such a kind as to render mutual confidence impossible when peace will have been made.

I look upon the whole world as my fatherland, and every war has to me the horror of a family feud.

Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind.

People have not been horrified by war to a sufficient extent ... War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige as the warrior does today.

If I live, I mean to spend the rest of my life working for perpetual peace. I have seen war and faced artillery and know what an outrage it is against simple men.

Everything, everything in war is barbaric ... But the worst barbarity of war is that it forces men collectively to commit acts against which individually they would revolt with their whole being.

The slaying of multitudes should be mourned with sorrow. A victory should be celebrated with the funeral rite.
