War Quotes

War is wretched beyond description, and only a fool or a fraud could sentimentalize its cruel reality Picture Quote #1

I'm as frustrated with the French, I think, as anyone, but look, there's going to be other challenges and there are going to be other issues. As long as there's a war on terrorism going on, we're all going to have to work together Picture Quote #1

National defense through war always involves some degree of national defeat. This paradox has been with us from the very beginning of our republic.

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 Picture Quote #1

What gunpowder did for war, the printing-press has done for the mind; and the statesman is no longer clad in the steel of special education, but every reading man is his judge Picture Quote #1

When the days of rejoicing are over, when the flags are stowed safely away, they will dream of another wild 'war to end wars' and another wild armistice day Picture Quote #1

England looked strange to us returned soldiers. We could not understand the war madness that ran about everywhere, looking for a pseudo-military outlet. The civilians talked a foreign language; and it was newspaper language Picture Quote #1

I protested: but all this is childish. Is there a war on here, or isn't there? The royal welch don't recognize it socially, he answered Picture Quote #1

War was return of Earth to ugly Earth, war was foundering of sublimities, extinction of each happy art and faith by which the world had still kept head in air Picture Quote #1

I haven't heard the president say that we are at war, and that's why I too am not knowing, do we use this, the term intervention? Do we use war? Do we use squirmish? What is it? Picture Quote #1

To win this war, we need a commander in chief, not a professor of law standing at the lectern Picture Quote #1

New terms used like, 'overseas contingency operation' instead of the word 'war' - that reflects a worldview that is out of touch with the enemy that we face. We can't spin our way out of this threat Picture Quote #1

Despite what the pundits want us to think, contested primaries aren't civil war, they are democracy at work, and that's beautiful Picture Quote #1

During the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called war; and such a war as is of every man against every man Picture Quote #1

War consisteth not in battle only, or the act of fighting; but in a tract of time, wherein the will to contend by battle is sufficiently known Picture Quote #1

During the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that conditions called war; and such a war, as if of every man, against every man Picture Quote #1

I learned three things in Zurich during the war. I wrote them down. Firstly, you're either a revolutionary or you're not, and if you're not you might as well be an artist as anything else. Secondly, if you can't be an artist, you might as well be a revolutionary.... I forget the third thing Picture Quote #1

War is capitalism with the gloves off and many who go to war know it but they go to war because they don't want to be a hero. It takes courage to sit down and be counted Picture Quote #1

To be an artist at all is like living in Switzerland during a world war. To be an artist in Zurich, in 1917, implies a degree of self-absorption that would have glazed over the eyes of Narcissus Picture Quote #1

What if Columbus had been told, Chris, baby, don't go now. Wait until we've solved our number-one priorities - war and famine; poverty and crime; pollution and disease; illiteracy and racial hatred Picture Quote #1

Though we talk peace, we wage war. Sometimes we even wage war in the name of peace. Does that seem paradoxical? Well, war is not afraid of paradoxes Picture Quote #1

Granted that every war is madness - civil war, fratricide, is the worst of all; it reaches deeper into ugliness, cruelty and absurdity Picture Quote #1

None of us is in a position to eliminate war, but it is our obligation to denounce it and expose it in all its hideousness. War leaves no victors, only victims Picture Quote #1

I had anger but never hate. Before the war, I was too busy studying to hate. After the war, I thought, What's the use? To hate would be to reduce myself Picture Quote #1

If men can develop weapons that are so terrifying as to make the thought of global war include almost a sentence for suicide, you would think that man's intelligence and his comprehension. Would include also his ability to find a peaceful solution Picture Quote #1

When I was born in 1942, World War II was still going. And I began to realize when I became a young adult that if we don't teach our kids a better way of relating to their fellow human beings, the very future of humanity on the planet is in jeopardy Picture Quote #1
