War

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



Best Quotes about War

1.
The most terrible job in warfare is to be a second lieutenant leading a platoon when you are on the battlefield.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

2.
The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it.
George Orwell

3.
The way to win an atomic war is to make certain it never starts.
Omar Bradley

4.
War seems to be one of the most salutary phenomena for the culture of human nature; and it is not without regret that I see it disappearing more and more from the scene.
Humboldt, Karl Wilhelm Von

5.
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

6.
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

7.
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

8.
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

9.
If the frontline people do count, you couldn't prove it by examining the reward systems in most organizations.
Albrecht, Karl

10.
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

11.
I regard almost all quarrels of princes on the same footing, and I see nothing that marks man's unreason so positively as war. Indeed, what folly to kill one another for interests often imaginary, and always for the pleasure of persons who do not think themselves even obliged to those who sacrifice themselves for them!
Montagu, Lady Mary Wortley

12.
No country has suffered so much from the ruins of war while being at peace as the American.
Dahlberg, Edward

13.
I'm a hero with coward's legs.
Milligan, Spike

14.
The man who is aware of himself is henceforward independent; and he is never bored, and life is only too short, and he is steeped through and through with a profound yet temperate happiness.
Woolf, Virginia

15.
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

16.
It is far easier to make war than to make peace.
Clemenceau, Georges

17.
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

18.
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

19.
For cowards the road of desertion should be left open; they will carry over to the enemy nothing, but their fears.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

20.
If it were not for the war, this war would suit me down to the ground.
Sayers, Dorothy L.

21.
Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong.
Reagan, Ronald

22.
Cowards can never be moral.
Gandhi, Mahatma

23.
Suppose they gave a war, and no one came?
Parrish-Bach, Leslie

24.
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

25.
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

26.
A coward is one who in a perilous emergency thinks with his legs.
Bierce, Ambrose

27.
Faint heart never won fair lady.
Cervantes, Miguel De

28.
How many feasible projects have miscarried through despondency, and been strangled in their birth by a cowardly imagination.
Collier, Jeremy

29.
I had supposed until that time that it was quite common for parents to love their children, but the war persuaded me that it is a rare exception. I had supposed that most people liked money better than almost anything else, but I discovered that they liked destruction even better. I had supposed that intellectuals frequently loved truth, but I found here again that not ten per cent of them prefer truth to popularity.
Russell, Bertrand

30.
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

31.
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

32.
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

33.
Keep on sowing your seed, for you never know which will grow -- perhaps it all will.
Einstein, Albert

34.
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

35.
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

36.
The idea of thanking staff should mean giving them something that they would never buy for themselves.
Crook, Jayne

37.
Older men declare war. But it is youth that must fight and die.
Hoover, Herbert Clark

38.
War -- what a waist of time. It's all about great achievements for the very few but hideous losses for the very many.

39.
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

40.
The pioneers of a warless world are the young men and women who refuse military service.
Einstein, Albert

41.
The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.
Graves, Robert

42.
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

43.
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

44.
Morality is contraband in war.
Gandhi, Mahatma

45.
A self-respecting nation is ready for anything, including war, except for a renunciation of its option to make war.
Weil, Simone

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

47.
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

48.
War is not a life: it is a situation, one which may neither be ignored nor accepted.
Eliot, T. S.

49.
The most persistent sound which reverberates through man's history is the beating of war drums.
Koestler, Arthur

50.
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
