War

I see that old flagpole still stands. Have your troops hoist the colors to its peak, and let no enemy ever haul them down.
- Macarthur, Douglas
War Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about War

1.
War alone brings up to their highest tension all human energies and imposes the stamp of nobility upon the peoples who have the courage to make it.
Mussolini, Benito

2.
Suppose they gave a war, and no one came?
Parrish-Bach, Leslie

3.
There are several good protections against temptation, but the surest is cowardice.
Twain, Mark

4.
Either war is obsolete or men are.
R. Buckminster Fuller

5.
War is much too serious a matter to be entrusted to the military.
Georges Clemenceau

6.
All men would be cowards if they could.
Rochester, Earl

7.
A coward is much more exposed to quarrels than a man of spirit.
Jefferson, Thomas

8.
Those who actually set out to see the fall of a city or those who choose to go to a front line, are obviously asking themselves to what extent they are cowards. But the tests they set themselves -- there is a dead body, can you bear to look at it? -- are nothing in comparison with the tests that are sprung on them. It is not the obvious tests that matter (do you go to pieces in a mortar attack?) but the unexpected ones (here is a man on the run, seeking your help -- can you face him honestly?).
Fenton, James

9.
War -- what a waist of time. It's all about great achievements for the very few but hideous losses for the very many.

10.
The real trouble with war (modern war) is that it gives no one a chance to kill the right people.
Pound, Ezra

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

13.
War is not nice.
Barbara Bush

14.
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

15.
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

16.
The cross of the Legion of Honor has been conferred on me. However, few escape that distinction.
Twain, Mark

17.
Open-mindedness should not be fostered because, as Scripture teaches, Truth is great and will prevail, nor because, as Milton suggests, Truth will always win in a free and open encounter. It should be fostered for its own sake.
Rorty, Richard

18.
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

19.
War is the supreme drama of a completely mechanized society.
Mumford, Lewis

20.
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

21.
Wars are made to make debt.
Pound, Ezra

22.
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

23.
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

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.
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

26.
What we believe is more important than our material existence, therefore warfare is a legitimate extension of values.
Johnson, Edward

27.
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

28.
The idea of thanking staff should mean giving them something that they would never buy for themselves.
Crook, Jayne

29.
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

30.
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

31.
For cowards the road of desertion should be left open; they will carry over to the enemy nothing, but their fears.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

32.
Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong.
Reagan, Ronald

33.
If the frontline people do count, you couldn't prove it by examining the reward systems in most organizations.
Albrecht, Karl

34.
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

35.
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

36.
I have known war as few men now living know it. It's very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a means of settling international disputes.
Macarthur, Douglas

37.
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

38.
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

39.
My valor is certainly going, it is sneaking off! I feel it oozing out as it were, at the palms of my hands!
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley

40.
The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it.
George Orwell

41.
The more we sweat in peace the less we bleed in war.
Pandit, Vijaya Lakshmi

42.
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

43.
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.

44.
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

45.
Great occasions do not make heroes or cowards; they simply unveil them to the eyes of men.
Westcott, Bishop

46.
Fear has its use but cowardice has none.
Gandhi, Mahatma

47.
War is a poor chisel to carve out tomorrow.
King Jr. Martin Luther

48.
I don't believe that the big men, the politicians and the capitalists alone are guilty of the war. Oh, no, the little man is just as keen, otherwise the people of the world would have risen in revolt long ago! There is an urge and rage in people to destroy, to kill, to murder, and until all mankind, without exception, undergoes a great change, wars will be waged, everything that has been built up, cultivated and grown, will be destroyed and disfigured, after which mankind will have to begin all over again.
Frank, Anne

49.
Where do all the women who have watched so carefully over the lives of their beloved ones get the heroism to send them to face the cannon?
Kollwitz, KaThe

50.
He that does good for good's sake seeks neither paradise nor reward, but he is sure of both in the end.
Penn, William
