War

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



Best Quotes about War

1.
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

2.
War begets quiet, quiet idleness, idleness disorder, disorder ruin; likewise ruin order, order virtue, virtue glory, and good fortune.
Raleigh, Sir Walter

3.
Men are at war with each other because each man is at war with himself.
Meehan, Francis

4.
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.

5.
Wars teach us not to love our enemies, but to hate our allies.
W. L. George

6.
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

7.
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

8.
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

9.
Morality is contraband in war.
Gandhi, Mahatma

10.
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

11.
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.

12.
The pioneers of a warless world are the young men and women who refuse military service.
Einstein, Albert

13.
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

14.
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.

15.
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

16.
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

17.
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

18.
He that does good for good's sake seeks neither paradise nor reward, but he is sure of both in the end.
Penn, William

19.
When the adulation of life is gone, the coward sneaks to his death, but the brave live on.
Sewell, George

20.
Wars are carried out by large organizations; Peace is brought one by one.
Manor, Rachel

21.
The cross of the Legion of Honor has been conferred on me. However, few escape that distinction.
Twain, Mark

22.
War is not a life: it is a situation, one which may neither be ignored nor accepted.
Eliot, T. S.

23.
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

24.
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

25.
The savage in man is never quite eradicated.
Thoreau, Henry David

26.
All men would be cowards if they could.
Rochester, Earl

27.
Where do all the women who have watched so carefully over the lives of their beloved ones get the heroism to send them to face the cannon?
Kollwitz, KaThe

28.
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

29.
The sinews of war, a limitless supply of money.
Cicero, Marcus T.

30.
It is better to be the widow of a hero than the wife of a coward.
Ibarruri, Dolores

31.
If we justify war, it is because all peoples always justify the traits of which they find themselves possessed, not because war will bear an objective examination of its merits.
Benedict, Ruth

32.
Either war is obsolete or men are.
R. Buckminster Fuller

33.
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

34.
God's delays are not God's denials.
Schuller, Robert H.

35.
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

36.
A wage hike is very hard to take away, but bonuses and profit-sharing can disappear very quickly in hard times...More people are realizing that bonuses look like raises, but really aren't.
Bauman, Al

37.
I have a deep sympathy with war, it so apes the gait and bearing of the soul.
Thoreau, Henry David

38.
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

39.
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

40.
War is a poor chisel to carve out tomorrow.
King Jr. Martin Luther

41.
There is hardly such a thing as a war in which it makes no difference who wins. Nearly always one side stands more or less for progress, the other side more or less for reaction.
Orwell, George

42.
For cowards the road of desertion should be left open; they will carry over to the enemy nothing, but their fears.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

43.
The cowards never started -- and the weak died along the way.

44.
A coward is much more exposed to quarrels than a man of spirit.
Jefferson, Thomas

45.
A coward is a hero with a wife, kids, and a mortgage.
Kitman, Marvin

46.
War is like love, it always finds a way.
Brecht, Bertolt

47.
Those who are at war with others are not at peace with themselves.
Hazlitt, William

48.
To be happy is to be able to become aware of oneself without fright.
Benjamin, Walter

49.
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

50.
If it were not for the war, this war would suit me down to the ground.
Sayers, Dorothy L.
