- Georges Clemenceau
War Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about War

1.
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

2.
He who wishes to secure the good of others has already secured his own.
Confucius

3.
It is better to be killed than frightened to death.
Surtees, Robert S.

4.
Men are at war with each other because each man is at war with himself.
Meehan, Francis

5.
The war is dreadful. It is the business of the artist to follow it home to the heart of the individual fighters -- not to talk in armies and nations and numbers -- but to track it home.
Lawrence, D. H.

6.
I feel sure that coups d'?tat would go much better if there were seats, boxes, and stalls so that one could see what was happening and not miss anything.
Goncourt, Edmond and Jules De

7.
The most terrible job in warfare is to be a second lieutenant leading a platoon when you are on the battlefield.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

8.
Wars are made to make debt.
Pound, Ezra

9.
Cowards die a thousand deaths. The valiant taste of death but once.
Shakespeare, William

10.
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

11.
All men would be cowards if they could.
Rochester, Earl

12.
A coward is one who in a perilous emergency thinks with his legs.
Bierce, Ambrose

13.
What vast additions to the conveniences and comforts of living might mankind have acquired, if the money spent in wars had been employed in works of public utility; what an extension of agriculture even to the tops of our mountains; what rivers rendered navigable, or joined by canals; what bridges, aqueducts, new roads, and other public works, edifices, and improvements might not have been obtained by spending those millions in doing good, which in the last war have been spent in doing mischief.
Franklin, Benjamin

14.
Do you know the only thing that gives me pleasure? It's to see my dividends coming in.
Rockefeller, John D.

15.
War is thus divine in itself, since it is a law of the world. War is divine through its consequences of a supernatural nature which are as much general as particular. War is divine in the mysterious glory that surrounds it and in the no less inexplicable attraction that draws us to it. War is divine by the manner in which it breaks out.
Maistre, Joseph De

16.
War is a cowardly escape from the problems of peace.
Thomas Mann

17.
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

18.
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

19.
Morality is contraband in war.
Gandhi, Mahatma

20.
How many feasible projects have miscarried through despondency, and been strangled in their birth by a cowardly imagination.
Collier, Jeremy

21.
If it were not for the war, this war would suit me down to the ground.
Sayers, Dorothy L.

22.
The idea of thanking staff should mean giving them something that they would never buy for themselves.
Crook, Jayne

23.
Fear has its use but cowardice has none.
Gandhi, Mahatma

24.
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

25.
The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike him as hard as you can, and keep moving on.
Ulysses S. Grant

26.
It is far easier to make war than to make peace.
Clemenceau, Georges

27.
Of course in war all madnesses come out in a man, that is the fault of war not of a man or a nation.
Lawrence, Frieda

28.
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

29.
The only winner in the War of 1812 was Tchaikovsky.
Solomon Short

30.
One day President Roosevelt told me that he was asking publicly for suggestions about what the war should be called. I said at once'The Unnecessary War'.
Sir Winston Churchill

31.
If we justify war, it is because all peoples always justify the traits of which they find themselves possessed, not because war will bear an objective examination of its merits.
Benedict, Ruth

32.
The greatest braggarts are usually the biggest cowards.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

33.
Wars teach us not to love our enemies, but to hate our allies.
W. L. George

34.
The most persistent sound which reverberates through man's history is the beating of war drums.
Koestler, Arthur

35.
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

36.
The cross of the Legion of Honor has been conferred on me. However, few escape that distinction.
Twain, Mark

37.
America is addicted to wars of distraction.
Ehrenreich, Barbara

38.
Wars are carried out by large organizations; Peace is brought one by one.
Manor, Rachel

39.
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.

40.
Cry havoc! and let slip the dogs of war, that this foul deed shall smell above the earth with carrion men, groaning for burial.
Shakespeare, William

41.
You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war.
Albert Einstein

42.
Those who are at war with others are not at peace with themselves.
Hazlitt, William

43.
What are we hoping to get out of it, what's it all in aid of -- is it really just for the sake of a gloved hand waving at you from a golden coach?
Osborne, John

44.
War is a contagion.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

45.
The idea of all-out nuclear war is unsettling.
Walter Goodman

46.
I'm a hero with coward's legs.
Milligan, Spike

47.
To be happy is to be able to become aware of oneself without fright.
Benjamin, Walter

48.
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

49.
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

50.
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
