Motivational Quotes
War
It is well that war is so terrible - otherwise we would grow too fond of it.

Best Quotes about War
The Oscars demonstrate the will of the people to control and judge those they have elected to stand above them (much, perhaps, as in bygone days, an election celebrated the same).
Mamet, David
What the horrors of war are, no one can imagine. They are not wounds and blood and fever, spotted and low, or dysentery, chronic and acute, cold and heat and famine. They are intoxication, drunken brutality, demoralization and disorder on the part of the inferior... jealousies, meanness, indifference, selfish brutality on the part of the superior.
Nightingale, Florence
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.
The savage in man is never quite eradicated.
Thoreau, Henry David
War -- what a waist of time. It's all about great achievements for the very few but hideous losses for the very many.
It is one of the most beautiful compensations in life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
One of the chief misfortunes of honest people is that they are cowardly.
Voltaire
War is the great scavenger of thought. It is the sovereign disinfectant, and its red stream of blood is the Condy's Fluid that cleans out the stagnant pools and clotted channels of the intellect. We have awakened from an opium-dream of comfort, of ease, of that miserable poltroonery of the sheltered life. Our wish for indulgence of every sort, our laxity of manners, our wretched sensitiveness to personal inconvenience, these are suddenly lifted before us in their true guise as the specters of national decay; and we have risen from the lethargy of our dilettantism to lay them, before it is too late, by the flashing of the unsheathed sword.
Gosse, Sir Edmund
A coward is a hero with a wife, kids, and a mortgage.
Kitman, Marvin
Dishonesty, cowardice and duplicity are never impulsive.
Knight, George A.
One is left with the horrible feeling now that war settles nothing; that to win a war is as disastrous as to lose one.
Agatha Christie
Wars are carried out by large organizations; Peace is brought one by one.
Manor, Rachel
Blunders are an inescapable feature of war, because choice in military affairs lies generally between the bad and the worse.
Massie, Allan
Suppose they gave a war, and no one came?
Parrish-Bach, Leslie
It is better to be a coward for a minute than dead for the rest of your life.
Proverb, Irish
Either war is obsolete or men are.
R. Buckminster Fuller
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
O can't you see, brother -- Death's a congested road for fighters now, and hero a cheap label.
Andrews, C. D.
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
Sometime they'll give a war and nobody will come.
Carl Sandburg
For cowards the road of desertion should be left open; they will carry over to the enemy nothing, but their fears.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
Everyone in our culture wants to win a prize. Perhaps that is the grand lesson we have taken with us from kindergarten in the age of perversions of Dewey-style education: everyone gets a ribbon, and praise becomes a meaningless narcotic to soothe egoistic distemper.
Early, Gerald
Keep on sowing your seed, for you never know which will grow -- perhaps it all will.
Einstein, Albert
The man who is aware of himself is henceforward independent; and he is never bored, and life is only too short, and he is steeped through and through with a profound yet temperate happiness.
Woolf, Virginia
Cowards die a thousand deaths. The valiant taste of death but once.
Shakespeare, William
War alone brings up to their highest tension all human energies and imposes the stamp of nobility upon the peoples who have the courage to make it.
Mussolini, Benito
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
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
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
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
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
The chief reason warfare is still with us is neither a secret death-wish of the human species, nor an irrepressible instinct of aggression, nor, finally and more plausibly, the serious economic and social dangers inherent in disarmament, but the simple fact that no substitute for this final arbiter in international affairs has yet appeared on the political scene.
Arendt, Hannah
Men are at war with each other because each man is at war with himself.
Meehan, Francis
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
What we believe is more important than our material existence, therefore warfare is a legitimate extension of values.
Johnson, Edward
War is the father of all things. But who is the mother?
Kocher, Gerhard
It is well that war is so terrible - otherwise we would grow too fond of it.
Robert E. Lee
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
He that does good for good's sake seeks neither paradise nor reward, but he is sure of both in the end.
Penn, William
Fear has its use but cowardice has none.
Gandhi, Mahatma
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
The pioneers of a warless world are the young men and women who refuse military service.
Einstein, Albert
To be happy is to be able to become aware of oneself without fright.
Benjamin, Walter
It is better to be the widow of a hero than the wife of a coward.
Ibarruri, Dolores
I'm a hero with coward's legs.
Milligan, Spike
How is the world ruled and led to war? Diplomats lie to journalists and believe these lies when they see them in print.
Kraus, Karl
It is the coward who fawns upon those above him. It is the coward who is insolent whenever he dares be so.
Junius
A democracy which makes or even effectively prepares for modern, scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic. No country can be really well prepared for modern war unless it is governed by a tyrant, at the head of a highly trained and perfectly obedient bureaucracy.
Huxley, Aldous
If it were not for the war, this war would suit me down to the ground.
Sayers, Dorothy L.
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
