War Quotes

All war is murder, robbery, trickery, and no nation ever escaped losses of men, prosperity and virility. War knows no victor Picture Quote #1

It were indeed to be wish’d that our art had been less ingenious, in contriving means destructive to mankind; we mean those instruments of war, which were unknown to the ancients, and have made such havoc among the moderns. But as men have always been bent on seeking each other’s destruction by continual wars; and as force, when brought against us, can only be repelled by force; the chief support of war, must, after money, be now sought in chemistry Picture Quote #1

Our country is now at war and the only way out is forward. I would not change one word I have spoken against war but that is no longer the issue. We must now stand together Picture Quote #1

We will be misguided in our intentions if we point at one single thing and say that it will prevent war, unless, of course, that thing happens to be the will, the determination, and the resolve of people everywhere that nations will never again clash on the battlefield Picture Quote #1

You must not blame us scientists for the use which war technicians have put our discoveries Picture Quote #1

Resort to science has rendered modern war so destructive of life and property that it presents a new problem to mankind, such, that unless our civilization shall find some means of making an end to war, war will make an end to our civilization Picture Quote #1

The arts of peace and the arts of war are like two wheels of a cart which, lacking one, will have difficulty in standing Picture Quote #1

Instead of building the peace by attacking injustices like starvation, disease, illiteracy, political and economic servitude, we spend a trillion dollars on war since 1946, until hatred and conflict have become the international preoccupation Picture Quote #1

Today, people are talking about many things: the danger of war and frequent clashes, water and air pollution, hunger, the increasing erosion of moral values, and so on. As a result, many other concerns have come to the fore: peace, contentment, ecology, justice, tolerance, and dialogue. Unfortunately, despite certain promising precautions, those who should be tackling these problems tend to do so by seeking further ways to conquer and control nature and produce more lethal weapons Picture Quote #1

We learned that we could move others to take action... Even though we couldn’t stop the war, I discovered that I could be involved in the movement for peace and justice. From that day on I knew that I was going to be committed to working for change Picture Quote #1

Creating a world that is truly fit for children does not imply simply the absence of war... It means having primary schools nearby that educate children, free of charge... It means building a world fit for children, where every child can grow to adulthood in health, peace and dignity Picture Quote #1

Now, when you boys get home, you’re gonna see a lot of war protestors. But don’t be bitter. Go up to one, shake his hand, and smile. Then wink at his girlfriend, because she knows she’s dating a pussy Picture Quote #1

I suppose if I had lost the war, I would have been tried as a war criminal... Every soldier thinks something of the moral aspects of what he is doing. But all war is immoral and if you let that bother you, you’re not a good soldier Picture Quote #1

To have command of the air means to be able to cut an enemy’s army and navy off from their bases of operation and nullify their chances of winning the war Picture Quote #1

War is a positive, precise and specific evil, of gigantic proportions... making within the sphere of its influence all true grandeur impossible Picture Quote #1

War in the end is always about betrayal, betrayal of the young by the old, of soldiers by politicians, and of idealists by cynics Picture Quote #1

For me war has become a flat, black depression without highlights, a revulsion of the mind and an exhaustion of the spirit Picture Quote #1

It is painful enough to discover with what unconcern they speak of war and threaten it. I have seen enough of it to make me look upon it as the sum of all evils Picture Quote #1

War is the most striking instance of the failure of intelligence to master the problem of human relationships Picture Quote #1

We are all familiar with the argument: Make war dreadful enough, and there will be no war. And we none of us believe it Picture Quote #1

One keeps healthy in wartime... by a vigorous assertion of values in which war has no part Picture Quote #1

We are the ones responsible to determine whether the war that our marines, soldiers and airmen are fighting in is worth the cause Picture Quote #1

Make it plain that you have no time for war, that you have more important things to do... let the diplomats and marshals of the earth shoot each other Picture Quote #1

If you want war, nourish a doctrine. Doctrines are the most frightful tyrants to which men ever are subject Picture Quote #1

If, as I have reason to believe, I have disintegrated the nucleus of the atom, this is of greater significance than the war Picture Quote #1

This was a type of war that we’d had no experience with before. Some of our policies were kind of trial and error in character Picture Quote #1

I don’t know whether war is an interlude during peace, or peace is an interlude during war Picture Quote #1

I love my country. But how many more of our loved ones need to die in this senseless war? Picture Quote #1

War has all the characteristics of socialism most conservatives hate: Centralized power, state planning, false rationalism, restricted liberties, foolish optimism about intended results, and blindness to unintended secondary results Picture Quote #1

There is the guilt all soldiers feel for having broken the taboo against killing, a guilt as old as war itself. Add to this the soldier’s sense of shame for having fought in actions that resulted, indirectly or directly, in the deaths of civilians. Then pile on top of that an attitude of social opprobrium, an attitude that made the fighting man feel personally morally responsible for the war, and you get your proverbial walking time bomb Picture Quote #1
