War

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
War Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about War

1.
That strange feeling we had in the war. Have you found anything in your lives since to equal it in strength? A sort of splendid carelessness it was, holding us together.
Coward, Noel

2.
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

3.
The reward of great men is that, long after they have died, one is not quite sure that they are dead.
Renard, Jules

4.
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

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

6.
The sinews of war, a limitless supply of money.
Cicero, Marcus T.

7.
Fear has its use but cowardice has none.
Gandhi, Mahatma

8.
The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.
Sun Tzu

9.
A coward is much more exposed to quarrels than a man of spirit.
Jefferson, Thomas

10.
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

11.
Dishonesty, cowardice and duplicity are never impulsive.
Knight, George A.

12.
Faint heart never won fair lady.
Cervantes, Miguel De

13.
I think the mark of a great ruler, is not his ability to make war but to achieve peace.
Monica Fairview

14.
I'm a hero with coward's legs.
Milligan, Spike

15.
The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.
Graves, Robert

16.
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

17.
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

18.
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

19.
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

20.
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

21.
All war represents a failure of diplomacy.
Benn, Tony

22.
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

23.
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

24.
A coward is a hero with a wife, kids, and a mortgage.
Kitman, Marvin

25.
He that does good for good's sake seeks neither paradise nor reward, but he is sure of both in the end.
Penn, William

26.
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.

27.
Suppose they gave a war, and no one came?
Parrish-Bach, Leslie

28.
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

29.
Not in rewards, but in the strength to strive, the blessing lies.
Towbridge, J. T.

30.
Companies that give excellent service reward employees for providing it.

31.
Unless they are immediate victims, the majority of mankind behaves as if war was an act of God which could not be prevented; or they behave as if war elsewhere was none of their business. It would be a bitter cosmic joke if we destroy ourselves due to atrophy of the imagination.
Gellhorn, Martha

32.
War-making is one of the few activities that people are not supposed to view realistically; that is, with an eye to expense and practical outcome. In all-out war, expenditure is all-out, unprudent -- war being defined as an emergency in which no sacrifice is excessive.
Sontag, Susan

33.
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

34.
If any question why we died, tell them, because our fathers lied.
Kipling, Rudyard

35.
The more we sweat in peace the less we bleed in war.
Pandit, Vijaya Lakshmi

36.
The coward threatens when he is safe.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

37.
No country has suffered so much from the ruins of war while being at peace as the American.
Dahlberg, Edward

38.
It is far easier to make war than to make peace.
Clemenceau, Georges

39.
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

40.
A cowardly cur barks more fiercely than it bites.
Rufus, Quintus Curtius

41.
The savage in man is never quite eradicated.
Thoreau, Henry David

42.
The cross of the Legion of Honor has been conferred on me. However, few escape that distinction.
Twain, Mark

43.
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

44.
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

45.
There are several good protections against temptation, but the surest is cowardice.
Twain, Mark

46.
It is better to be the widow of a hero than the wife of a coward.
Ibarruri, Dolores

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

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.
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

50.
It is better to be a coward for a minute than dead for the rest of your life.
Proverb, Irish
