War

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
War Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about War

1.
He that does good for good's sake seeks neither paradise nor reward, but he is sure of both in the end.
Penn, William

2.
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

3.
The outcome of the war is in our hands; the outcome of words is in the council.
Homer

4.
The effects of our actions may be postponed but they are never lost. There is an inevitable reward for good deeds and an inescapable punishment for bad. Meditate upon this truth, and seek always to earn good wages from Destiny.
Fu Wu Ming

5.
The human race is a race of cowards; and I am not only marching in that procession, but carrying a banner.
Twain, Mark

6.
A coward is one who in a perilous emergency thinks with his legs.
Bierce, Ambrose

7.
I think the mark of a great ruler, is not his ability to make war but to achieve peace.
Monica Fairview

8.
The only winner in the War of 1812 was Tchaikovsky.
Solomon Short

9.
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

10.
Every gun that is fired, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

11.
Either war is obsolete or men are.
R. Buckminster Fuller

12.
If any question why we died, tell them, because our fathers lied.
Kipling, Rudyard

13.
The most terrible job in warfare is to be a second lieutenant leading a platoon when you are on the battlefield.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

14.
Most people grow old within a small circle of ideas, which they have not discovered for themselves. There are perhaps less wrong-minded people than thoughtless.
Vauvenargues, Marquis De

15.
Sometime they'll give a war and nobody will come.
Carl Sandburg

16.
If it were not for the war, this war would suit me down to the ground.
Sayers, Dorothy L.

17.
A light supper, a good night's sleep, and a fine morning have sometimes made a hero of the same man who, by an indigestion, a restless night, and a rainy morning would have proved a coward.
Stanhope, Philip Dormer

18.
War is a cowardly escape from the problems of peace.
Thomas Mann

19.
Those who are at war with others are not at peace with themselves.
Hazlitt, William

20.
Suppose they gave a war, and no one came?
Parrish-Bach, Leslie

21.
To see, to hear, means nothing. To recognize (or not to recognize) means everything. Between what I do recognize and what I do not recognize there stands myself. And what I do not recognize I shall continue not to recognize.
Breton, Andre

22.
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

23.
The greatest braggarts are usually the biggest cowards.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

24.
Are wars... anything but the means whereby a nation's problems are set, where creation is stimulated -- there you have adventure. But there is no adventure in heads-or-tails, in betting that the toss will come out of life or death. War is not an adventure. It is a disease. It is like typhus.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De

25.
The way to win an atomic war is to make certain it never starts.
Omar Bradley

26.
Man gives every reason for his conduct save one, every excuse for his crimes save one, every plea for his safety save one; and that one is his cowardice.
Shaw, George Bernard

27.
The problem in defense is how far you can go without destroying from within what you are trying to defend from without.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

28.
All war represents a failure of diplomacy.
Benn, Tony

29.
Great occasions do not make heroes or cowards; they simply unveil them to the eyes of men.
Westcott, Bishop

30.
Do you know the only thing that gives me pleasure? It's to see my dividends coming in.
Rockefeller, John D.

31.
War is the supreme drama of a completely mechanized society.
Mumford, Lewis

32.
You can't say that civilization don't advance, however, for in every war they kill you in a new way.
Will Rogers

33.
There is hardly such a thing as a war in which it makes no difference who wins. Nearly always one side stands more or less for progress, the other side more or less for reaction.
Orwell, George

34.
For cowards the road of desertion should be left open; they will carry over to the enemy nothing, but their fears.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

35.
Companies that give excellent service reward employees for providing it.

36.
The coward threatens when he is safe.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

37.
One is left with the horrible feeling now that war settles nothing; that to win a war is as disastrous as to lose one.
Agatha Christie

38.
I'm a hero with coward's legs.
Milligan, Spike

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

40.
A just war is hospitable to every self-deception on the part of those waging it, none more than the certainty of virtue, under whose shelter every abomination can be committed with a clear conscience.
Cockburn, Alexander

41.
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

42.
Older men declare war. But it is youth that must fight and die.
Hoover, Herbert Clark

43.
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.

44.
To be happy is to be able to become aware of oneself without fright.
Benjamin, Walter

45.
The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.
Sun Tzu

46.
The cannon thunders... limbs fly in all directions... one can hear the groans of victims and the howling of those performing the sacrifice... it's Humanity in search of happiness.
Baudelaire, Charles

47.
No man, who continues to add something to the material, intellectual and moral well-being of the place in which he lives, is left long without proper reward.
Washington, Booker T.

48.
A coward gets scared and quits. A hero gets scared, but still goes on.

49.
War is not its own end, except in some catastrophic slide into absolute damnation. It's peace that's wanted. Some better peace than the one you started with.
Lois McMaster Bujold

50.
The cowards never started -- and the weak died along the way.
