War

It is the coward who fawns upon those above him. It is the coward who is insolent whenever he dares be so.
- Junius
War Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about War

1.
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

2.
To see, to hear, means nothing. To recognize (or not to recognize) means everything. Between what I do recognize and what I do not recognize there stands myself. And what I do not recognize I shall continue not to recognize.
Breton, Andre

3.
If the frontline people do count, you couldn't prove it by examining the reward systems in most organizations.
Albrecht, Karl

4.
The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.
Sun Tzu

5.
War will never cease until babies begin to come into the world with larger cerebrums and smaller adrenal glands.
Mencken, H. L.

6.
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

7.
You can't say that civilization don't advance, however, for in every war they kill you in a new way.
Will Rogers

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.
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

10.
War is a poor chisel to carve out tomorrow.
King Jr. Martin Luther

11.
It is the coward who fawns upon those above him. It is the coward who is insolent whenever he dares be so.
Junius

12.
War is the trade of Kings.
Dryden, John

13.
The greatest braggarts are usually the biggest cowards.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

14.
War is not its own end, except in some catastrophic slide into absolute damnation. It's peace that's wanted. Some better peace than the one you started with.
Lois McMaster Bujold

15.
I have a deep sympathy with war, it so apes the gait and bearing of the soul.
Thoreau, Henry David

16.
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

17.
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

18.
The savage in man is never quite eradicated.
Thoreau, Henry David

19.
The pioneers of a warless world are the young men and women who refuse military service.
Einstein, Albert

20.
The war is dreadful. It is the business of the artist to follow it home to the heart of the individual fighters -- not to talk in armies and nations and numbers -- but to track it home.
Lawrence, D. H.

21.
I believe in compulsory cannibalism. If people were forced to eat what they killed, there would be no more wars.
Hoffman, Abbie

22.
Are wars... anything but the means whereby a nation's problems are set, where creation is stimulated -- there you have adventure. But there is no adventure in heads-or-tails, in betting that the toss will come out of life or death. War is not an adventure. It is a disease. It is like typhus.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De

23.
When the adulation of life is gone, the coward sneaks to his death, but the brave live on.
Sewell, George

24.
O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief... for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
Twain, Mark

25.
The most persistent sound which reverberates through man's history is the beating of war drums.
Koestler, Arthur

26.
The way to win an atomic war is to make certain it never starts.
Omar Bradley

27.
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.

28.
War is not nice.
Barbara Bush

29.
What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?
Mahatma Gandhi

30.
Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong.
Reagan, Ronald

31.
Every gun that is fired, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

32.
You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
Buddha

33.
If any question why we died, tell them, because our fathers lied.
Kipling, Rudyard

34.
Wars teach us not to love our enemies, but to hate our allies.
W. L. George

35.
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

36.
How many feasible projects have miscarried through despondency, and been strangled in their birth by a cowardly imagination.
Collier, Jeremy

37.
Blunders are an inescapable feature of war, because choice in military affairs lies generally between the bad and the worse.
Massie, Allan

38.
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.

39.
It is well that war is so terrible - otherwise we would grow too fond of it.
Robert E. Lee

40.
Suppose they gave a war, and no one came?
Parrish-Bach, Leslie

41.
A democracy which makes or even effectively prepares for modern, scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic. No country can be really well prepared for modern war unless it is governed by a tyrant, at the head of a highly trained and perfectly obedient bureaucracy.
Huxley, Aldous

42.
Neither enemy faces, nor the mothers that love them, come to mind when one is thinking of nothing but endeavouring to survive. Philosophising about war is useless under fire.
Linda Berdoll

43.
The only winner in the War of 1812 was Tchaikovsky.
Solomon Short

44.
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.

45.
All war represents a failure of diplomacy.
Benn, Tony

46.
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

47.
You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war.
Albert Einstein

48.
He that does good for good's sake seeks neither paradise nor reward, but he is sure of both in the end.
Penn, William

49.
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

50.
No country has suffered so much from the ruins of war while being at peace as the American.
Dahlberg, Edward
