War and Peace

After a long, hopeless war, people will settle for peace, at almost any price.

Wars do not end wars any more than an extraordinarily large conflagration does away with the fire hazard.

War will disappear only when men shall take no part whatever in violence and shall be ready to suffer every persecution that their abstention will bring them. It is the only way to abolish war.

War is only a cowardly escape from the problems of peace.

I find war detestable but those who praise it without participating in it even more so.

All war is deception.

Cry 'Havoc', and let slip the dogs of war, that this foul deed shall smell above the earth with carrion men, groaning for burial.

The nuclear arms race is like two sworn enemies standing waist deep in gasoline, one with three matches, the other with five.

Those who can win a war well can rarely make a good peace and those who could make a good peace would never have won the war.

It is not enough to win a war; it is more important to organize the peace.

No one won the last war, and no one will win the next war.

In times of war, the law falls silent.

The choice is not between violence and nonviolence but between nonviolence and nonexistence.

There has never been a protracted war from which a country has benefited.

A prisoner of war is a man who tries to kill you and fails, and then asks you not to kill him.

How is it possible to have a civil war?

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

An inglorious peace is better than a dishonorable war.

One cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war.

Listen up - there's no war that will end all wars.

The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.

Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime.

In time of war, when truth is so precious, it must be attended by a bodyguard of lies.

There are causes worth dying for, but none worth killing for.
