War

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.
War Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about War

1.
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

2.
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

3.
War is a cowardly escape from the problems of peace.
Thomas Mann

4.
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

5.
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

6.
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

7.
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

8.
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.

9.
The idea of all-out nuclear war is unsettling.
Walter Goodman

10.
If the frontline people do count, you couldn't prove it by examining the reward systems in most organizations.
Albrecht, Karl

11.
You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
Buddha

12.
Do you know the only thing that gives me pleasure? It's to see my dividends coming in.
Rockefeller, John D.

13.
I think the mark of a great ruler, is not his ability to make war but to achieve peace.
Monica Fairview

14.
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

15.
To know what is right and not do it is the worst cowardice.
Confucius

16.
Sometime they'll give a war and nobody will come.
Carl Sandburg

17.

Hobsbawm, E. J.

18.
The human race is a race of cowards; and I am not only marching in that procession, but carrying a banner.
Twain, Mark

19.
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

20.
What we believe is more important than our material existence, therefore warfare is a legitimate extension of values.
Johnson, Edward

21.
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

22.
The reward of great men is that, long after they have died, one is not quite sure that they are dead.
Renard, Jules

23.
A new kind of award has been added -- the deathbed award. It is not an award of any kind. Either the recipient has not acted at all, or was not nominated, or did not win the award the last few times around. It is intended to relieve the guilty conscience of the Academy members and save face in front of the public. The Academy has the horrible taste to have a star, choking with emotion, present this deathbed award so that there can be no doubt in anybody's mind why the award is so hurriedly given. Lucky is the actor who is too sick to watch the proceedings on television.
Dietrich, Marlene

24.
War is the trade of Kings.
Dryden, John

25.
Hell and damnation, life is such fun with a ragged greatcoat and a Jerry gun!
Blok, Alexander

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

27.
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

28.
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

29.
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

30.
Companies that give excellent service reward employees for providing it.

31.
War -- what a waist of time. It's all about great achievements for the very few but hideous losses for the very many.

32.
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

33.
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

34.
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

35.
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

36.
A cowardly cur barks more fiercely than it bites.
Rufus, Quintus Curtius

37.
War is regarded as nothing but the continuation of politics by other means.
Clausewitz, Karl Von

38.
Men are at war with each other because each man is at war with himself.
Meehan, Francis

39.
Morality is contraband in war.
Gandhi, Mahatma

40.
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

41.
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.

42.
The way to win an atomic war is to make certain it never starts.
Omar Bradley

43.
Fear has its use but cowardice has none.
Gandhi, Mahatma

44.
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

45.
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

46.
To be happy is to be able to become aware of oneself without fright.
Benjamin, Walter

47.
Not in rewards, but in the strength to strive, the blessing lies.
Towbridge, J. T.

48.
I believe in compulsory cannibalism. If people were forced to eat what they killed, there would be no more wars.
Hoffman, Abbie

49.
Faint heart never won fair lady.
Cervantes, Miguel De

50.
Cowardice, as distinguished from panic, is almost always simply a lack of ability to suspend the functioning of the imagination.
Hemingway, Ernest
