War

What war has always been is a puberty ceremony. It's a very rough one, but you went away a boy and came back a man, maybe with an eye missing or whatever but godammit you were a man and people had to call you a man thereafter.
- Vonnegut Jr., Kurt
War Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about War

1.
If any question why we died, tell them, because our fathers lied.
Kipling, Rudyard

2.
Wars are carried out by large organizations; Peace is brought one by one.
Manor, Rachel

3.
Those who are at war with others are not at peace with themselves.
Hazlitt, William

4.
War -- what a waist of time. It's all about great achievements for the very few but hideous losses for the very many.

5.
It is better to be the widow of a hero than the wife of a coward.
Ibarruri, Dolores

6.
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

7.
The only winner in the War of 1812 was Tchaikovsky.
Solomon Short

8.
From the happy expression on their faces you might have supposed that they welcomed the war. I have met with men who loved stamps, and stones, and snakes, but I could not imagine any man loving war.
Asquith, Margot

9.
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

10.
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

11.
War begets quiet, quiet idleness, idleness disorder, disorder ruin; likewise ruin order, order virtue, virtue glory, and good fortune.
Raleigh, Sir Walter

12.
Cowards die a thousand deaths. The valiant taste of death but once.
Shakespeare, William

13.
The savage in man is never quite eradicated.
Thoreau, Henry David

14.
The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it.
George Orwell

15.
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

16.
The most terrible job in warfare is to be a second lieutenant leading a platoon when you are on the battlefield.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

17.
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.

18.
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

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

20.
There are several good protections against temptation, but the surest is cowardice.
Twain, Mark

21.
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

22.
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

23.
Wars are made to make debt.
Pound, Ezra

24.
War is a contagion.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

25.
Men are at war with each other because each man is at war with himself.
Meehan, Francis

26.
The real trouble with war (modern war) is that it gives no one a chance to kill the right people.
Pound, Ezra

27.
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.

28.
I'm a hero with coward's legs.
Milligan, Spike

29.
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

30.
To see, to hear, means nothing. To recognize (or not to recognize) means everything. Between what I do recognize and what I do not recognize there stands myself. And what I do not recognize I shall continue not to recognize.
Breton, Andre

31.
Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong.
Reagan, Ronald

32.
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

33.
The coward threatens when he is safe.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

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

36.
War has always been the grand sagacity of every spirit which has grown too inward and too profound; its curative power lies even in the wounds one receives.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

37.
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

38.
A reward cannot be valued if it is not understood
Grant, Phillip C.

39.
Do you know the only thing that gives me pleasure? It's to see my dividends coming in.
Rockefeller, John D.

40.
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.

41.
O can't you see, brother -- Death's a congested road for fighters now, and hero a cheap label.
Andrews, C. D.

42.
It is better to be a coward for a minute than dead for the rest of your life.
Proverb, Irish

43.
God's delays are not God's denials.
Schuller, Robert H.

44.
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

45.
A coward gets scared and quits. A hero gets scared, but still goes on.

46.
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

47.
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.

48.
It is better to be killed than frightened to death.
Surtees, Robert S.

49.
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

50.
War is not nice.
Barbara Bush
