We have to be faster in calming down a resentment than putting out a fire, because the consequences of the first are infinitely more dangerous than the results of the last; fire ends burning down some houses at the most, while the resentment can cause cruel wars, with the ruin and total destruction of nations... (Wars Quotes)
It amazes me that we spend 20% of the US budget on defense and far-off wars, and not on fighting cancer, disease, and aging. (Wars Quotes)
Words create conceptions and self-conceptions and ultimately nations. They can start and stop wars. They can would and heal. Choosing words carefully is a moral responsibility. (Wars Quotes)
Don’t forget what I discovered that over ninety percent of all national deficits from 1921 to 1939 were caused by payments for past, present, and future wars. (Wars Quotes)
A smart soldier wants to know the causes of wars. Also how to end them. After all, war is the normal state of affairs, isn’t it? Peace is the name of the ideal we deduce from the fact that there have been interludes between wars. (Wars Quotes)
The U.S. has taken an active role in wars from Libya to the Central African Republic, sent special ops forces into countries from Somalia to South Sudan, conducted airstrikes and abduction missions, even put boots on the ground in countries where it pledged it would not. (Wars Quotes)
When you have a peace movement that has an actual war, it’s different from one that has wars that our country is not totally involved in. During the war in Vietnam, and to a lesser degree the wars in Central America where our country was directly involved, it was easier to organize. (Wars Quotes)
The government may change faces from time to time, but it’s not like we fight wars for democracy - we fight wars for capitalism and for oil. (Wars Quotes)
It is often noted that it can be hard for democracies to fight wars because of changing public opinion. (Wars Quotes)
Ultimately, my books are not about the politics, although the toil and the struggle and the wars in Afghanistan have a significant impact on the lives of my characters. (Wars Quotes)
If you’re going to write about war, which my books are about, wars are nasty things. I think it’s sort of a cheap, easy way out to write a war story in which no one ultimately dies. (Wars Quotes)
That aesthetic of the Star Wars universe: the do-it-yourself, hotrod ethic that George Lucas exported from his childhood, is exactly the same kind of soul behind what we do and build for the show. It may not look pretty, but it gets the job done. (Wars Quotes)
From 1945 to 1991, China was engaged in a series of wars that nearly broke them. This generation has been through hell: the Great Leap Forward, hunger, starvation, near collision with the Russians - the Cultural Revolution gone mad. I have no doubt that this generation wants a peaceful rise. (Wars Quotes)
Like all food, whether you’re talking about Persian food, or Chinese food, or Swedish food, it’s always a reflection of wars, trading, a bunch of good and a bunch of bad. But what’s left is always the food story. (Wars Quotes)
...that both Muslim fundamentalists and the Christian right are today focusing their attempts to regain control in a rapidly changing world on frantic efforts to maintain control over women, particularly over women’s sexuality. Moreover, given their mythologies about holy wars, it is also understandable that they should use divinely approved violence to do so... (Wars Quotes)
Ever since the Crusades, when Christians from western Europe were fighting holy wars against Muslims in the near east, western people have often perceived Islam as a violent and intolerant faith - even though when this prejudice took root Islam had a better record of tolerance than Christianity. (Wars Quotes)
Lord, there’s danger in this land, you get witch hunts and wars when church and state hold hands. (Wars Quotes)
Our society is divided by the culture wars into the Left and Right, and the United Methodist Church has always stood historically in the center and has been willing to listen to and to bring together those things that often are found in opposite camps. (Wars Quotes)
Gold begets in brethren hate; Gold in families debate; Gold does friendship separate; Gold does civil wars create. (Wars Quotes)
Some points in time cannot flow. Think of those big-ticket moments, the ones you could still recite from fifth grade: your 1492 and Civil Wars, the Titanic and presidential assassinations. These are icebergs, solid and immense, forcing incalculable eddies to swirl around them. (Wars Quotes)
It’s always best to stay out of other people’s divorces. And their civil wars. (Wars Quotes)
Some of the greatest uprisings and consequent civil wars in Mexico have centered squarely on the ownership of land. (Wars Quotes)
With two civil wars, an al-Qaida presence and 40% unemployment, what else is President Saleh waiting for? He should leave office now. (Wars Quotes)
There are lots of countries that are having these kinds of internal civil wars in other parts of the world and nobody is talking about intervening. (Wars Quotes)
School-leavers unfortunately will come away thinking the First World War consisted simply of ‘going over the top’ on the Western Front to slaughter in no-man’s-land, when the conflict extended so much further, to the collapse of four empires and numerous civil wars. (Wars Quotes)
I do not think that war is always wrong: sometimes it is necessary to stop a dictator, prevent massive human-rights abuses, or expel an invader. But I have also seen that in the modern world, civil wars are the greatest threat to humanitarian security. (Wars Quotes)
We need to focus on killing the bad guys, not getting stuck in Middle Eastern civil wars that don’t keep America safe. (Wars Quotes)
In countries where there are real civil wars, people go through a lot, and we should be willing to go through a lot to help them. (Wars Quotes)
