War Quotes

I'm old enough to remember the end of World War II. On Aug. 14, 1946, a year after the Japanese were defeated, most newspapers and magazines had single articles commemorating the end of the war Picture Quote #1

The idea that we're going to win this war is an idea that unfortunately is just plain wrong Picture Quote #1

You don't attack the grunts of Vietnam; you blame the theory behind the war. Nobody who fought in that war was at fault. It was the war itself that was at fault. It's the same thing with psychotherapy Picture Quote #1

My grandfather was a general in the Nationalist Chinese Air Force during World War II, and I grew up hearing the pilot stories and seeing pictures of him in uniform Picture Quote #1

In Europe and the United States the two decades following the Second World War will for long be remembered as a very good time, the time when capitalism really worked. Everywhere in the industrialized countries production increased. Unemployment was everywhere low. Prices were nearly stable. When production lagged and unemployment rose, governments intervened to take up the slack, as Keynes had urged Picture Quote #1

Capitalism is chronically unstable.Boom and bust has always marked capitalism in the United States. There were panics in 1785, 1791, 1819, 1857, 1869, 1873, 1907, 1929 and 1987.In economies and politics, as in war, an astonishing number of people die, like the man on the railway crossing, defending their right of way. This is a poorly developed instinct in Switzerland. No country so firmly avows the principles of private enterprise but in few have the practical concessions to socialism been more numerous and varied Picture Quote #1

World War II revealed two of the enduring features of the Keynesian Revolution. One was the moral difference between spending for welfare and spending for war. During the Depression very modest outlays for the unemployed seemed socially debilitating, economically unsound. Now expenditures many times greater for weapons and soldiers were perfectly safe. It's a difference that still persists Picture Quote #1

In numerous years following the war, the Federal Government ran a heavy surplus. It could not (however) pay off it's debt, retire it's securities, because to do so meant there would be no bonds to back the national bank notes. To pay off the debt was to destroy the money supply Picture Quote #1

I have a friend that is a WWII buff, and we sat and talked a lot about stuff like the war and the reasons behind it, and you now it's all in the uniform. Once you're in it, it usually does all the work for you Picture Quote #1

Worthy Marcius, had we no other quarrel else to Rome, but that thou art thence banish'd, we would muster all from twelve to seventy; and, pouring war into the bowels of ungrateful Rome, like a bold flood overbeat Picture Quote #1

When I was in Pulp, I actively did more TV stuff because that was during the Great Britpop Wars, and it seemed important to prove that indie people could speak. That war doesn't exist anymore Picture Quote #1

The west has a great deal to answer for in the Middle East, from Britain's belated empire-building after the First World War to the US and British policy that condemns modern Iraq to the material and social squalor of a half century ago Picture Quote #1

Follow thy drum; with man's blood paint the ground, gules, gules! Religious canons, civil laws are cruel; then what should war be? This fell whore of thine Hath in her more destruction than thy sword For all her cherubin look Picture Quote #1

O war, thou son of hell, whom angry heavens do make their minister, throw in the frozen bosoms of our part hot coals of vengeance. Let no soldier fly. He that is truly dedicate to war hath no self-love; nor he that loves himself hath not essentially, but by circumstance, the name of valor Picture Quote #1

Therefore, brave conquerors - for so you are that war against your own affections and the huge army of the world's desires - our late edict shall strongly stand in force: navarre shall be the wonder of the world; our court shall be a little academe, still and contemplative in living art Picture Quote #1

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded, everybody rolls with their fingers crossed, everybody knows that the war is over, everybody knows the good guys lost Picture Quote #1

We need to stop spending money on death, the war in Iraq and on enhancing the lives of the people in our own country Picture Quote #1

Comic books, movies, radio programmes centered their entertainment around the fact of torture. With the clearest of consciences, with a patriotic intensity, children dreamed, talked, acted orgies of physical abuse. Imaginations were released to wander on a reconnaissance mission from Cavalry to Dachau. European children starved and watched their parents scheme and die. Here we grew up with toy whips. Early warning against our future leaders, the war babies Picture Quote #1

It was OK, us being Reds during the war, because we were all on the same side. But then the Cold War started. Almost overnight we became enemies of people who were close friends - they crossed the street to avoid us Picture Quote #1

It is not good when people no longer believe in war. Pretty soon they no longer believe in many other things which they absolutely must believe in if they are to be decent men Picture Quote #1

For the sake of the troops, for the love of the troops, we must not add yet another casualty to this war. We must not let truth be a casualty of this war Picture Quote #1
