Peace demands the most heroic labor and the most difficult sacrifice. It demands greater heroism than war. It demands greater fidelity to the truth and a much more perfect purity of conscience.
Thomas Merton
Nowadays it is the fashion to emphasize the horrors of the last war. I didn't find it so horrible. There are just as horrible things happening all round us today, if only we had eyes to see them.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Although a soldier by profession, I have never felt any sort of fondness for war, and I have never advocated it, except as a means of peace.
Ulysses S. Grant
War settles nothing.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike him as hard as you can, and keep moving on.
Ulysses S. Grant
If men make war in slavish obedience to rules, they will fail.
Ulysses S. Grant
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.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
In most communities it is illegal to cry "fire" in a crowded assembly. Should it not be considered serious international misconduct to manufacture a general war scare in an effort to achieve local political aims?
Dwight D. Eisenhower
When people speak to you about a preventive war, you tell them to go and fight it. After my experience, I have come to hate war.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Not all moral issues have the same moral weight as abortion and euthanasia. There may be legitimate diversity of opinion even among Catholics about waging war and applying the death penalty, but not... with regard to abortion and euthanasia.
Pope Benedict XVI
War never takes a wicked man by chance, the good man always.
Sophocles
War is not an adventure. It is a disease. It is like typhus.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Fantasy is toxic: the private cruelty and the world war both have their start in the heated brain.
Elizabeth Bowen
On the contrary, I tried on numerous occasions to convince the American president not to go to war. I did what was within my capabilities to avoid that happening.
Silvio Berlusconi
We all say no to war, we are all for justice and peace. But sometimes in order to maintain peace, armed action is necessary. But we hope it won't be the case.
Silvio Berlusconi
I was never convinced that war was the best system to bring democracy to the country.
Silvio Berlusconi
Sports is like a war without the killing.
Ted Turner
War has been good to me from a financial standpoint but I don't want to make money that way. I don't want blood money.
Ted Turner
Virtue is a state of war, and to live in it we have always to combat with ourselves.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The sinews of war are infinite money.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
