War

No country has suffered so much from the ruins of war while being at peace as the American.
- Dahlberg, Edward
War Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about War

1.
The human race is a race of cowards; and I am not only marching in that procession, but carrying a banner.
Twain, Mark

2.
It is one of the most beautiful compensations in life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

3.
The Oscars demonstrate the will of the people to control and judge those they have elected to stand above them (much, perhaps, as in bygone days, an election celebrated the same).
Mamet, David

4.
Cowardice, as distinguished from panic, is almost always simply a lack of ability to suspend the functioning of the imagination.
Hemingway, Ernest

5.
Like Olympic medals and tennis trophies, all they signified was that the owner had done something of no benefit to anyone more capably than everyone else.
Heller, Joseph

6.
I was always embarrassed by the words sacred, glorious and sacrifice and the expression in vain. We had heard them, sometimes standing in the rain almost out of earshot, so that only the shouted words came through, and had read them, on proclamations that were slapped up by billposters over other proclamations, now for a long time, and I had seen nothing sacred, and the things that were glorious had no glory and the sacrifices were like the stockyards at Chicago if nothing was done with the meat except to bury it.
Hemingway, Ernest

7.
A coward is one who in a perilous emergency thinks with his legs.
Bierce, Ambrose

8.
Great occasions do not make heroes or cowards; they simply unveil them to the eyes of men.
Westcott, Bishop

9.
War has been the most convenient pseudo-solution for the problems of twentieth-century capitalism. It provides the incentives to modernization and technological revolution which the market and the pursuit of profit do only fitfully and by accident, it makes the unthinkable (such as votes for women and the abolition of unemployment) not merely thinkable but practicable. What is equally important, it can re-create communities of men and give a temporary sense to their lives by uniting them against foreigners and outsiders. This is an achievement beyond the power of the private enterprise economy when left to itself.
Hobsbawm, E. J.

10.
Where do all the women who have watched so carefully over the lives of their beloved ones get the heroism to send them to face the cannon?
Kollwitz, KaThe

11.
What the horrors of war are, no one can imagine. They are not wounds and blood and fever, spotted and low, or dysentery, chronic and acute, cold and heat and famine. They are intoxication, drunken brutality, demoralization and disorder on the part of the inferior... jealousies, meanness, indifference, selfish brutality on the part of the superior.
Nightingale, Florence

12.
Everyone in our culture wants to win a prize. Perhaps that is the grand lesson we have taken with us from kindergarten in the age of perversions of Dewey-style education: everyone gets a ribbon, and praise becomes a meaningless narcotic to soothe egoistic distemper.
Early, Gerald

13.
What a country calls its vital economic interests are not the things which enable its citizens to live, but the things which enable it to make war. Petrol is more likely than wheat to be a cause of international conflict.
Weil, Simone

14.
War is a cowardly escape from the problems of peace.
Thomas Mann

15.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse. A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice; a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, carried on for an honest purpose by their own free choice -- is often the means of their regeneration.
Mill, John Stuart

16.
War-making is one of the few activities that people are not supposed to view realistically; that is, with an eye to expense and practical outcome. In all-out war, expenditure is all-out, unprudent -- war being defined as an emergency in which no sacrifice is excessive.
Sontag, Susan

17.
It is open to a war resister to judge between the combatants and wish success to the one who has justice on his side. By so judging he is more likely to bring peace between the two than by remaining a mere spectator.
Gandhi, Mahatma

18.
A self-respecting nation is ready for anything, including war, except for a renunciation of its option to make war.
Weil, Simone

19.
No country has suffered so much from the ruins of war while being at peace as the American.
Dahlberg, Edward

20.
What we believe is more important than our material existence, therefore warfare is a legitimate extension of values.
Johnson, Edward

21.
Blunders are an inescapable feature of war, because choice in military affairs lies generally between the bad and the worse.
Massie, Allan

22.
Here dead lie we because we did not choose to live and shame the land from which we sprung. Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose; but young men think it is, and we were young.
Housman, A. E.

23.
It is the coward who fawns upon those above him. It is the coward who is insolent whenever he dares be so.
Junius

24.
The triumphs of peace have been in some proximity to war. Whilst the hand was still familiar with the sword-hilt, whilst the habits of the camp were still visible in the port and complexion of the gentleman, his intellectual power culminated; the compression and tension of these stern conditions is a training for the finest and softest arts, and can rarely be compensated in tranquil times, except by some analogous vigor drawn from occupations as hardy as war.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

25.
God's delays are not God's denials.
Schuller, Robert H.

26.
So you think you can tell heaven from hell blue skies from pain. Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail, a smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts hot ashes for trees, hot air for a cool breeze, cold comfort for change? Did you exchange a walk on part in a war for a lead role in a cage?
Waters, R.

27.
Fear has its use but cowardice has none.
Gandhi, Mahatma

28.
I have a deep sympathy with war, it so apes the gait and bearing of the soul.
Thoreau, Henry David

29.
If it were not for the war, this war would suit me down to the ground.
Sayers, Dorothy L.

30.
The reward of great men is that, long after they have died, one is not quite sure that they are dead.
Renard, Jules

31.
When cowardice is made respectable, its followers are without number both from among the weak and the strong; it easily becomes a fashion.
Hoffer, Eric

32.
America is addicted to wars of distraction.
Ehrenreich, Barbara

33.
All war represents a failure of diplomacy.
Benn, Tony

34.
There are several good protections against temptation, but the surest is cowardice.
Twain, Mark

35.
Wars are carried out by large organizations; Peace is brought one by one.
Manor, Rachel

36.
War is like love, it always finds a way.
Brecht, Bertolt

37.
People in general are scared to death of the war and all the exhibition have been a failure, because the rich - don't want to buy anything.
Frida Kahlo

38.
The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.
Sun Tzu

39.
Hell and damnation, life is such fun with a ragged greatcoat and a Jerry gun!
Blok, Alexander

40.
Those who have been immersed in the tragedy of massive death during wartime, and who have faced it squarely, never allowing their senses and feelings to become numbed and indifferent, have emerged from their experiences with growth and humanness greater than that achieved through almost any other means.
KuBler-Ross, Elisabeth

41.
Cowards can never be moral.
Gandhi, Mahatma

42.
When the adulation of life is gone, the coward sneaks to his death, but the brave live on.
Sewell, George

43.
A reward cannot be valued if it is not understood
Grant, Phillip C.

44.
The idea of thanking staff should mean giving them something that they would never buy for themselves.
Crook, Jayne

45.
I don't believe that the big men, the politicians and the capitalists alone are guilty of the war. Oh, no, the little man is just as keen, otherwise the people of the world would have risen in revolt long ago! There is an urge and rage in people to destroy, to kill, to murder, and until all mankind, without exception, undergoes a great change, wars will be waged, everything that has been built up, cultivated and grown, will be destroyed and disfigured, after which mankind will have to begin all over again.
Frank, Anne

46.
War is the father of all things. But who is the mother?
Kocher, Gerhard

47.
Always reward your long hours of labor and toil in the very best way, surrounded by your family. Nurture their love carefully, remembering that your children need models, not critics, and your own progress will hasten when you constantly strive to present your best side to your children. And even if you have failed at all else in the eyes of the world, if you have a loving family, you are a success.
Mandino, Og

48.
It is well that war is so terrible - otherwise we would grow too fond of it.
Robert E. Lee

49.
A coward is a hero with a wife, kids, and a mortgage.
Kitman, Marvin

50.
O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief... for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
Twain, Mark
