War

War is a cowardly escape from the problems of peace.
- Thomas Mann
War Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about War

1.
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

2.
War is the father of all things. But who is the mother?
Kocher, Gerhard

3.
How many feasible projects have miscarried through despondency, and been strangled in their birth by a cowardly imagination.
Collier, Jeremy

4.
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

5.
If the frontline people do count, you couldn't prove it by examining the reward systems in most organizations.
Albrecht, Karl

6.
The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.
Sun Tzu

7.
Wars are made to make debt.
Pound, Ezra

8.
War begets quiet, quiet idleness, idleness disorder, disorder ruin; likewise ruin order, order virtue, virtue glory, and good fortune.
Raleigh, Sir Walter

9.
Most people grow old within a small circle of ideas, which they have not discovered for themselves. There are perhaps less wrong-minded people than thoughtless.
Vauvenargues, Marquis De

10.
Our young people have come to look upon war as a kind of beneficent deity, which not only adds to the national honor but uplifts a nation and develops patriotism and courage. That is all true. But it is only fair, too, to let them know that the garments of the deity are filthy and that some of her influences debase and befoul a people.
Davis, Rebecca Harding

11.
Anyone who has ever looked into the glazed eyes of a soldier dying on the battlefield will think hard before starting a war.
Bismarck, Otto Von

12.
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

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

15.
War is not nice.
Barbara Bush

16.
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.

17.
The savage in man is never quite eradicated.
Thoreau, Henry David

18.
The more we sweat in peace the less we bleed in war.
Pandit, Vijaya Lakshmi

19.
The idea of all-out nuclear war is unsettling.
Walter Goodman

20.
War -- what a waist of time. It's all about great achievements for the very few but hideous losses for the very many.

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

23.
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

24.
That man is not truly brave who is afraid either to seem or to be, when it suits him, a coward.
Poe, Edgar Allan

25.
A reward cannot be valued if it is not understood
Grant, Phillip C.

26.
No country has suffered so much from the ruins of war while being at peace as the American.
Dahlberg, Edward

27.
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.

28.
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

29.
Sometime they'll give a war and nobody will come.
Carl Sandburg

30.
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.

31.
How is the world ruled and led to war? Diplomats lie to journalists and believe these lies when they see them in print.
Kraus, Karl

32.
The cowards never started -- and the weak died along the way.

33.
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

34.
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

35.
Dishonesty, cowardice and duplicity are never impulsive.
Knight, George A.

36.
War is a contagion.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

37.
The sinews of war, a limitless supply of money.
Cicero, Marcus T.

38.
Like Olympic medals and tennis trophies, all they signified was that the owner had done something of no benefit to anyone more capably than everyone else.
Heller, Joseph

39.
The human race is a race of cowards; and I am not only marching in that procession, but carrying a banner.
Twain, Mark

40.
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

41.
Cowardice, as distinguished from panic, is almost always simply a lack of ability to suspend the functioning of the imagination.
Hemingway, Ernest

42.
A just war is hospitable to every self-deception on the part of those waging it, none more than the certainty of virtue, under whose shelter every abomination can be committed with a clear conscience.
Cockburn, Alexander

43.
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

44.
A coward is one who in a perilous emergency thinks with his legs.
Bierce, Ambrose

45.
Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.
Sir Winston Churchill

46.
I feel sure that coups d'?tat would go much better if there were seats, boxes, and stalls so that one could see what was happening and not miss anything.
Goncourt, Edmond and Jules De

47.
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.

48.
A coward is a hero with a wife, kids, and a mortgage.
Kitman, Marvin

49.
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

50.
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
