War is a poor chisel to carve out tomorrow.
- King Jr. Martin Luther
War Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about War

1.
The reward of great men is that, long after they have died, one is not quite sure that they are dead.
Renard, Jules

2.
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

3.
The human race is a race of cowards; and I am not only marching in that procession, but carrying a banner.
Twain, Mark

4.
War is the trade of Kings.
Dryden, John

5.
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

6.
It is the coward who fawns upon those above him. It is the coward who is insolent whenever he dares be so.
Junius

7.
The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.
Graves, Robert

8.
No country has suffered so much from the ruins of war while being at peace as the American.
Dahlberg, Edward

9.
He that does good for good's sake seeks neither paradise nor reward, but he is sure of both in the end.
Penn, William

10.
I'm a hero with coward's legs.
Milligan, Spike

11.
I don't believe that the big men, the politicians and the capitalists alone are guilty of the war. Oh, no, the little man is just as keen, otherwise the people of the world would have risen in revolt long ago! There is an urge and rage in people to destroy, to kill, to murder, and until all mankind, without exception, undergoes a great change, wars will be waged, everything that has been built up, cultivated and grown, will be destroyed and disfigured, after which mankind will have to begin all over again.
Frank, Anne

12.
Great occasions do not make heroes or cowards; they simply unveil them to the eyes of men.
Westcott, Bishop

13.
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

14.
It is better to be the widow of a hero than the wife of a coward.
Ibarruri, Dolores

15.
I believe in compulsory cannibalism. If people were forced to eat what they killed, there would be no more wars.
Hoffman, Abbie

16.
A cowardly cur barks more fiercely than it bites.
Rufus, Quintus Curtius

17.
He who wishes to secure the good of others has already secured his own.
Confucius

18.
The outcome of the war is in our hands; the outcome of words is in the council.
Homer

19.
War is not a life: it is a situation, one which may neither be ignored nor accepted.
Eliot, T. S.

20.
The more we sweat in peace the less we bleed in war.
Pandit, Vijaya Lakshmi

21.
Dishonesty, cowardice and duplicity are never impulsive.
Knight, George A.

22.
Wars are carried out by large organizations; Peace is brought one by one.
Manor, Rachel

23.
Companies that give excellent service reward employees for providing it.

24.
The real trouble with war (modern war) is that it gives no one a chance to kill the right people.
Pound, Ezra

25.
No man, who continues to add something to the material, intellectual and moral well-being of the place in which he lives, is left long without proper reward.
Washington, Booker T.

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

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

30.
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

31.
The idea of thanking staff should mean giving them something that they would never buy for themselves.
Crook, Jayne

32.
The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it.
George Orwell

33.
It is better to be a coward for a minute than dead for the rest of your life.
Proverb, Irish

34.
Blunders are an inescapable feature of war, because choice in military affairs lies generally between the bad and the worse.
Massie, Allan

35.
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

36.
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

37.
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

38.
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

39.
To be happy is to be able to become aware of oneself without fright.
Benjamin, Walter

40.
Either war is obsolete or men are.
R. Buckminster Fuller

41.
Greater even than the pious man is he who eats that which is the fruit of his own toil; for scripture declares him twice-blessed.
Talmud, The

42.
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.

43.
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

44.
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

45.
If any question why we died, tell them, because our fathers lied.
Kipling, Rudyard

46.
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

47.
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

48.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse. A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice; a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, carried on for an honest purpose by their own free choice -- is often the means of their regeneration.
Mill, John Stuart

49.
The most persistent sound which reverberates through man's history is the beating of war drums.
Koestler, Arthur

50.
It is well that war is so terrible - otherwise we would grow too fond of it.
Robert E. Lee
