Best Quotes about War
It is far easier to make war than to make peace.
Clemenceau, Georges
Men are at war with each other because each man is at war with himself.
Meehan, Francis
I hate a fellow whom pride, or cowardice, or laziness drives into a corner, and who does nothing when he is there but sit and growl; let him come out as I do, and bark.
Johnson, Samuel
How many feasible projects have miscarried through despondency, and been strangled in their birth by a cowardly imagination.
Collier, Jeremy
A light supper, a good night's sleep, and a fine morning have sometimes made a hero of the same man who, by an indigestion, a restless night, and a rainy morning would have proved a coward.
Stanhope, Philip Dormer
Faint heart never won fair lady.
Cervantes, Miguel De
Wars teach us not to love our enemies, but to hate our allies.
W. L. George
War begets quiet, quiet idleness, idleness disorder, disorder ruin; likewise ruin order, order virtue, virtue glory, and good fortune.
Raleigh, Sir Walter
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
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
The cowards never started -- and the weak died along the way.
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
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
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
It takes twenty years or more of peace to make a man; it takes only twenty seconds of war to destroy him.
Baudouin I
Perhaps the reward of the spirit who tries is not the goal but the exercise.
Cooke, E. V.
The way to win an atomic war is to make certain it never starts.
Omar Bradley
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
The greatest braggarts are usually the biggest cowards.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
Older men declare war. But it is youth that must fight and die.
Hoover, Herbert Clark
Hell and damnation, life is such fun with a ragged greatcoat and a Jerry gun!
Blok, Alexander
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
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
The cross of the Legion of Honor has been conferred on me. However, few escape that distinction.
Twain, Mark
A coward is one who in a perilous emergency thinks with his legs.
Bierce, Ambrose
Great occasions do not make heroes or cowards; they simply unveil them to the eyes of men.
Westcott, Bishop
One of the chief misfortunes of honest people is that they are cowardly.
Voltaire
War is regarded as nothing but the continuation of politics by other means.
Clausewitz, Karl Von
Either war is obsolete or men are.
R. Buckminster Fuller
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.
As long as war is regarded as wicked, it will always have it's fascination. When it is looked upon as vulgar, it will cease to be popular.
Wilde, Oscar
To know what is right and not do it is the worst cowardice.
Confucius
If it were not for the war, this war would suit me down to the ground.
Sayers, Dorothy L.
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
War is not a life: it is a situation, one which may neither be ignored nor accepted.
Eliot, T. S.
When cowardice is made respectable, its followers are without number both from among the weak and the strong; it easily becomes a fashion.
Hoffer, Eric
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
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.
God's delays are not God's denials.
Schuller, Robert H.
What vast additions to the conveniences and comforts of living might mankind have acquired, if the money spent in wars had been employed in works of public utility; what an extension of agriculture even to the tops of our mountains; what rivers rendered navigable, or joined by canals; what bridges, aqueducts, new roads, and other public works, edifices, and improvements might not have been obtained by spending those millions in doing good, which in the last war have been spent in doing mischief.
Franklin, Benjamin
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
The more prosperous and settled a nation, the more readily it tends to think of war as a regrettable accident; to nations less fortunate the chance of war presents itself as a possible bountiful friend.
Lapham, Lewis H.
A coward is much more exposed to quarrels than a man of spirit.
Jefferson, Thomas
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
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
America is addicted to wars of distraction.
Ehrenreich, Barbara
War is a contagion.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.
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
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
He who wishes to secure the good of others has already secured his own.
Confucius
