Take my word for it: If you had seen but one day of war you would pray to Almighty God that you might never see such again.

As long as war is regarded as wicked, it will always have its fascination. When it is looked upon as vulgar, it will cease to be popular.

... a war always ends.

Strange, isn't it, that warfare has come down to fencing with complicated toys that only a few seedy scholars can make or understand.

I am become death-the shatterer of worlds.

When war blows dustily over the earth It is women who suffer: Oh Heaven, so blue, so high, Who shall we blame?

If truth be not glorified and elevated by our sword, going to war is not good for our community.

War is just like bush-clearing-the moment you stop, the jungle comes back even thicker, but for a little while you can plant and grow a crop in the ground you have won at such a terrible cost.

The first law of war is to preserve ourselves and destroy the enemy.

History shows that wars are divided into two kinds-just and unjust. All wars that are progressive are just, and all wars that impede progress are unjust.
