War

Morality is contraband in war.
- Gandhi, Mahatma
War Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about War

1.
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

2.
Lots of people who complained about us receiving the MBE received theirs for heroism in the war --for killing people. We received ours for entertaining other people. I'd say we deserve ours more.
Lennon, John

3.
Covetousness like jealousy, when it has taken root, never leaves a person, but with their life. Cowardice is the dread of what will happen.
Epictetus

4.
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

5.
The cowards never started -- and the weak died along the way.

6.
Wars are made to make debt.
Pound, Ezra

7.
War is a game that is played with a smile. If you can't smile, grin. If you can't grin, keep out of the way till you can.
Churchill, Winston

8.
Hence that general is skilful in attack whose opponent does not know what to defend; and he is skilful in defense whose opponent does not know what to attack.
Sun Tzu

9.
Cowards can never be moral.
Gandhi, Mahatma

10.
There are several good protections against temptation, but the surest is cowardice.
Twain, Mark

11.
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

12.
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.

13.
The more prosperous and settled a nation, the more readily it tends to think of war as a regrettable accident; to nations less fortunate the chance of war presents itself as a possible bountiful friend.
Lapham, Lewis H.

14.
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.

15.
For cowards the road of desertion should be left open; they will carry over to the enemy nothing, but their fears.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

16.
Sometime they'll give a war and nobody will come.
Carl Sandburg

17.
When the adulation of life is gone, the coward sneaks to his death, but the brave live on.
Sewell, George

18.
I do not know with what weapons World War 3 will be fought, but World War 4 will be fought with sticks and stones.
Einstein, Albert

19.
A coward is much more exposed to quarrels than a man of spirit.
Jefferson, Thomas

20.
War: first, one hopes to win; then one expects the enemy to lose; then, one is satisfied that he too is suffering; in the end, one is surprised that everyone has lost.
Kraus, Karl

21.
Great occasions do not make heroes or cowards; they simply unveil them to the eyes of men.
Westcott, Bishop

22.
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

23.
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

24.
Neither enemy faces, nor the mothers that love them, come to mind when one is thinking of nothing but endeavouring to survive. Philosophising about war is useless under fire.
Linda Berdoll

25.
No country has suffered so much from the ruins of war while being at peace as the American.
Dahlberg, Edward

26.
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

27.
A wage hike is very hard to take away, but bonuses and profit-sharing can disappear very quickly in hard times...More people are realizing that bonuses look like raises, but really aren't.
Bauman, Al

28.
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

29.
How many feasible projects have miscarried through despondency, and been strangled in their birth by a cowardly imagination.
Collier, Jeremy

30.
It is far easier to make war than to make peace.
Clemenceau, Georges

31.
War is much too serious a matter to be entrusted to the military.
Georges Clemenceau

32.
That strange feeling we had in the war. Have you found anything in your lives since to equal it in strength? A sort of splendid carelessness it was, holding us together.
Coward, Noel

33.
The more we sweat in peace the less we bleed in war.
Pandit, Vijaya Lakshmi

34.
There are two things which will always be very difficult for a democratic nation: to start a war and to end it.
Tocqueville, Alexis De

35.
A cowardly cur barks more fiercely than it bites.
Rufus, Quintus Curtius

36.
The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.
Sun Tzu

37.
A coward gets scared and quits. A hero gets scared, but still goes on.

38.
Frankly, I'd like to see the government get out of war altogether and leave the whole field to private industry.
Heller, Joseph

39.
It is better to be a coward for a minute than dead for the rest of your life.
Proverb, Irish

40.
Those who dare to interpret God's will must never claim Him as an asset for one nation or group rather than another. War springs from the love and loyalty which should be offered to God being applied to some God substitute, one of the most dangerous being nationalism.
Runcie, Robert

41.
The only winner in the War of 1812 was Tchaikovsky.
Solomon Short

42.
Men are at war with each other because each man is at war with himself.
Meehan, Francis

43.
I'm a hero with coward's legs.
Milligan, Spike

44.
Cowards die a thousand deaths. The valiant taste of death but once.
Shakespeare, William

45.
The greatest braggarts are usually the biggest cowards.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

46.
It is well that war is so terrible - otherwise we would grow too fond of it.
Robert E. Lee

47.
War -- what a waist of time. It's all about great achievements for the very few but hideous losses for the very many.

48.
As long as war is regarded as wicked, it will always have it's fascination. When it is looked upon as vulgar, it will cease to be popular.
Wilde, Oscar

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

50.
From the happy expression on their faces you might have supposed that they welcomed the war. I have met with men who loved stamps, and stones, and snakes, but I could not imagine any man loving war.
Asquith, Margot
