War

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



Best Quotes about War

1.
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

2.
The most terrible job in warfare is to be a second lieutenant leading a platoon when you are on the battlefield.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

3.
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

4.
A self-respecting nation is ready for anything, including war, except for a renunciation of its option to make war.
Weil, Simone

5.
If it were not for the war, this war would suit me down to the ground.
Sayers, Dorothy L.

6.
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.

7.
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

8.
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

9.
You can't say that civilization don't advance, however, for in every war they kill you in a new way.
Will Rogers

10.
Cowards die a thousand deaths. The valiant taste of death but once.
Shakespeare, William

11.
How is the world ruled and led to war? Diplomats lie to journalists and believe these lies when they see them in print.
Kraus, Karl

12.
Faint heart never won fair lady.
Cervantes, Miguel De

13.
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

14.
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

15.
Unless they are immediate victims, the majority of mankind behaves as if war was an act of God which could not be prevented; or they behave as if war elsewhere was none of their business. It would be a bitter cosmic joke if we destroy ourselves due to atrophy of the imagination.
Gellhorn, Martha

16.
O can't you see, brother -- Death's a congested road for fighters now, and hero a cheap label.
Andrews, C. D.

17.
Great occasions do not make heroes or cowards; they simply unveil them to the eyes of men.
Westcott, Bishop

18.
The sinews of war, a limitless supply of money.
Cicero, Marcus T.

19.
A reward cannot be valued if it is not understood
Grant, Phillip C.

20.
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.

21.
For cowards the road of desertion should be left open; they will carry over to the enemy nothing, but their fears.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

22.
Greater even than the pious man is he who eats that which is the fruit of his own toil; for scripture declares him twice-blessed.
Talmud, The

23.
The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it.
George Orwell

24.
What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?
Mahatma Gandhi

25.
It is better to be killed than frightened to death.
Surtees, Robert S.

26.
I'm a hero with coward's legs.
Milligan, Spike

27.
Wars are made to make debt.
Pound, Ezra

28.
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.

29.
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

30.
Vice is its own reward. It is virtue which, if it is to be marketed with consumer appeal, must carry Green Shield stamps.
Crisp, Quentin

31.
The reward of great men is that, long after they have died, one is not quite sure that they are dead.
Renard, Jules

32.
It is well that war is so terrible - otherwise we would grow too fond of it.
Robert E. Lee

33.
The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.
Sun Tzu

34.
Keep on sowing your seed, for you never know which will grow -- perhaps it all will.
Einstein, Albert

35.
A democracy which makes or even effectively prepares for modern, scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic. No country can be really well prepared for modern war unless it is governed by a tyrant, at the head of a highly trained and perfectly obedient bureaucracy.
Huxley, Aldous

36.
War is a cowardly escape from the problems of peace.
Thomas Mann

37.
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

38.
Not in rewards, but in the strength to strive, the blessing lies.
Towbridge, J. T.

39.
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

40.
I hate a fellow whom pride, or cowardice, or laziness drives into a corner, and who does nothing when he is there but sit and growl; let him come out as I do, and bark.
Johnson, Samuel

41.
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

42.
The outcome of the war is in our hands; the outcome of words is in the council.
Homer

43.
When the adulation of life is gone, the coward sneaks to his death, but the brave live on.
Sewell, George

44.
Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.
Sir Winston Churchill

45.
What war has always been is a puberty ceremony. It's a very rough one, but you went away a boy and came back a man, maybe with an eye missing or whatever but godammit you were a man and people had to call you a man thereafter.
Vonnegut Jr., Kurt

46.
It is better to be a coward for a minute than dead for the rest of your life.
Proverb, Irish

47.
Dishonesty, cowardice and duplicity are never impulsive.
Knight, George A.

48.
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

49.
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

50.
The greatest braggarts are usually the biggest cowards.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
