If any question why we died, tell them, because our fathers lied.
- Kipling, Rudyard
War Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about War

1.
Sometime they'll give a war and nobody will come.
Carl Sandburg

2.
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

3.
Faint heart never won fair lady.
Cervantes, Miguel De

4.
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

5.
For cowards the road of desertion should be left open; they will carry over to the enemy nothing, but their fears.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

6.
The cowards never started -- and the weak died along the way.

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

8.
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

9.
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

10.
War begets quiet, quiet idleness, idleness disorder, disorder ruin; likewise ruin order, order virtue, virtue glory, and good fortune.
Raleigh, Sir Walter

11.
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

12.
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.

13.
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

14.
You can't say that civilization don't advance, however, for in every war they kill you in a new way.
Will Rogers

15.
War is a poor chisel to carve out tomorrow.
King Jr. Martin Luther

16.
Vice is its own reward. It is virtue which, if it is to be marketed with consumer appeal, must carry Green Shield stamps.
Crisp, Quentin

17.
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

18.
Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong.
Reagan, Ronald

19.
Wars teach us not to love our enemies, but to hate our allies.
W. L. George

20.
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

21.
Lots of people who complained about us receiving the MBE received theirs for heroism in the war --for killing people. We received ours for entertaining other people. I'd say we deserve ours more.
Lennon, John

22.
Perhaps the reward of the spirit who tries is not the goal but the exercise.
Cooke, E. V.

23.
The more prosperous and settled a nation, the more readily it tends to think of war as a regrettable accident; to nations less fortunate the chance of war presents itself as a possible bountiful friend.
Lapham, Lewis H.

24.
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

25.
Dishonesty, cowardice and duplicity are never impulsive.
Knight, George A.

26.
When the adulation of life is gone, the coward sneaks to his death, but the brave live on.
Sewell, George

27.
He who wishes to secure the good of others has already secured his own.
Confucius

28.
If any question why we died, tell them, because our fathers lied.
Kipling, Rudyard

29.
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

30.
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

31.
Keep on sowing your seed, for you never know which will grow -- perhaps it all will.
Einstein, Albert

32.
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

33.
Do you know the only thing that gives me pleasure? It's to see my dividends coming in.
Rockefeller, John D.

34.
A coward gets scared and quits. A hero gets scared, but still goes on.

35.
A reward cannot be valued if it is not understood
Grant, Phillip C.

36.
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

37.
War is not a life: it is a situation, one which may neither be ignored nor accepted.
Eliot, T. S.

38.
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

39.
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

40.
War is the trade of Kings.
Dryden, John

41.
The outcome of the war is in our hands; the outcome of words is in the council.
Homer

42.
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

43.
The real trouble with war (modern war) is that it gives no one a chance to kill the right people.
Pound, Ezra

44.
There are several good protections against temptation, but the surest is cowardice.
Twain, Mark

45.
I believe in compulsory cannibalism. If people were forced to eat what they killed, there would be no more wars.
Hoffman, Abbie

46.
All war represents a failure of diplomacy.
Benn, Tony

47.
Great occasions do not make heroes or cowards; they simply unveil them to the eyes of men.
Westcott, Bishop

48.
That man is not truly brave who is afraid either to seem or to be, when it suits him, a coward.
Poe, Edgar Allan

49.
A self-respecting nation is ready for anything, including war, except for a renunciation of its option to make war.
Weil, Simone

50.
A coward is one who in a perilous emergency thinks with his legs.
Bierce, Ambrose
