War

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



Best Quotes about War

1.
It is the coward who fawns upon those above him. It is the coward who is insolent whenever he dares be so.
Junius

2.
If any question why we died, tell them, because our fathers lied.
Kipling, Rudyard

3.
The chief reason warfare is still with us is neither a secret death-wish of the human species, nor an irrepressible instinct of aggression, nor, finally and more plausibly, the serious economic and social dangers inherent in disarmament, but the simple fact that no substitute for this final arbiter in international affairs has yet appeared on the political scene.
Arendt, Hannah

4.
War has always been the grand sagacity of every spirit which has grown too inward and too profound; its curative power lies even in the wounds one receives.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

5.
What a country calls its vital economic interests are not the things which enable its citizens to live, but the things which enable it to make war. Petrol is more likely than wheat to be a cause of international conflict.
Weil, Simone

6.
If the frontline people do count, you couldn't prove it by examining the reward systems in most organizations.
Albrecht, Karl

7.
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

8.
The savage in man is never quite eradicated.
Thoreau, Henry David

9.
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

10.
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

11.
Wars are carried out by large organizations; Peace is brought one by one.
Manor, Rachel

12.
The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.
Graves, Robert

13.
The human race is a race of cowards; and I am not only marching in that procession, but carrying a banner.
Twain, Mark

14.
A coward is much more exposed to quarrels than a man of spirit.
Jefferson, Thomas

15.
War is the trade of Kings.
Dryden, John

16.
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

17.
Cowards die a thousand deaths. The valiant taste of death but once.
Shakespeare, William

18.
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

19.
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

20.
Do you know the only thing that gives me pleasure? It's to see my dividends coming in.
Rockefeller, John D.

21.
War both needs and generates certain virtues; not the highest, but what may be called the preliminary virtues, as valor, veracity, the spirit of obedience, the habit of discipline. Any of these, and of others like them, when possessed by a nation, and no matter how generated, will give them a military advantage, and make them more likely to stay in the race of nations.
Bagehot, Walter

22.
Fear has its use but cowardice has none.
Gandhi, Mahatma

23.
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

24.
War is not nice.
Barbara Bush

25.
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

26.
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.

27.
War -- what a waist of time. It's all about great achievements for the very few but hideous losses for the very many.

28.
Suppose they gave a war, and no one came?
Parrish-Bach, Leslie

29.
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

30.
Blunders are an inescapable feature of war, because choice in military affairs lies generally between the bad and the worse.
Massie, Allan

31.
If it were not for the war, this war would suit me down to the ground.
Sayers, Dorothy L.

32.
You can't say that civilization don't advance, however, for in every war they kill you in a new way.
Will Rogers

33.
God's delays are not God's denials.
Schuller, Robert H.

34.
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

35.
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

36.
One of the chief misfortunes of honest people is that they are cowardly.
Voltaire

37.
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

38.
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

39.
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

40.
The idea of thanking staff should mean giving them something that they would never buy for themselves.
Crook, Jayne

41.
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

42.
War is a contagion.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

43.
War has been the most convenient pseudo-solution for the problems of twentieth-century capitalism. It provides the incentives to modernization and technological revolution which the market and the pursuit of profit do only fitfully and by accident, it makes the unthinkable (such as votes for women and the abolition of unemployment) not merely thinkable but practicable. What is equally important, it can re-create communities of men and give a temporary sense to their lives by uniting them against foreigners and outsiders. This is an achievement beyond the power of the private enterprise economy when left to itself.
Hobsbawm, E. J.

44.
Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind. War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today.
Kennedy, John F.

45.
How many feasible projects have miscarried through despondency, and been strangled in their birth by a cowardly imagination.
Collier, Jeremy

46.
He that does good for good's sake seeks neither paradise nor reward, but he is sure of both in the end.
Penn, William

47.
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

48.
O can't you see, brother -- Death's a congested road for fighters now, and hero a cheap label.
Andrews, C. D.

49.
Cowardice, as distinguished from panic, is almost always simply a lack of ability to suspend the functioning of the imagination.
Hemingway, Ernest

50.
The way to win an atomic war is to make certain it never starts.
Omar Bradley
