There is no such thing as an inevitable war. If war comes it will be from failure of human wisdom.

God ordered otherwise.

He has lost his left arm, but I have lost my right.

It is well that war is so terrible, or we should grow too fond of it.

What a cruel thing is war: to separate and destroy families and friends; and mar the purest joys and happiness God has granted us in this world: to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors, and to devastate the fair face of this beautiful world.

He had grown up in a country run by politicians who sent the pilots to man the bombers to kill the babies to make the world safer for children to grow up in.

Military glory-that attractive rainbow that rises in showers of blood, that serpent's eye that charms to destroy.

Ez fer war, I call it murder- There you hev it plain an' flat; I don't want to go no furder Than my Testyment fer that.

Ninepence a day fer killin' folks comes kind o' low fer murder.

We kind o' thought Christ went agin war an' pillage.
