I know war as few other men now living know it, and nothing to me is more revolting. I have long advocated its complete abolition, as its very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a method of settling international disputes.
Ernest Hemingway
They wrote in the old days that it is sweet and fitting to die for one's country. But in modern war, there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason.
Ernest Hemingway
Once we have a war there is only one thing to do. It must be won. For defeat brings worse things than any that can ever happen in war.
Ernest Hemingway
For a war to be just three conditions are necessary - public authority, just cause, right motive.
Ernest Hemingway
We make war that we may live in peace.
Aristotle
There is no avoiding war; it can only be postponed to the advantage of others.
Niccolo Machiavelli
War should be the only study of a prince. He should consider peace only as a breathing-time, which gives him leisure to contrive, and furnishes as ability to execute, military plans.
Niccolo Machiavelli
War is just when it is necessary; arms are permissible when there is no hope except in arms.
Niccolo Machiavelli
War is not an independent phenomenon, but the continuation of politics by different means.
Karl Von Clausewitz
Establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all politics can do is keep us out of war.
Maria Montessori
All war is deception.
Sun Tzu
Cliches about supporting the troops are designed to distract from failed policies, policies promoted by powerful special interests that benefit from war, anything to steer the discussion away from the real reasons the war in Iraq will not end anytime soon.
Ron Paul
Throughout the 20th century, the Republican Party benefited from a non-interventionist foreign policy. Think of how Eisenhower came in to stop the Korean War. Think of how Nixon was elected to stop the mess in Vietnam.
Ron Paul
In time it will become clear to everyone that support for the policies of pre-emptive war and interventionist nation-building will have much greater significance than the removal of Saddam Hussein itself.
Ron Paul
War is never economically beneficial except for those in position to profit from war expenditures.
Ron Paul
There's nothing wrong with being a Conservative and coming up with a Conservative believe in foreign policy where we have a strong national defense and we don't go to war so carelessly.
Ron Paul
Another term for preventive war is aggressive war - starting wars because someday somebody might do something to us. That is not part of the American tradition.
Ron Paul
What is not conservative about saying, 'Don't go to war unless we go to war properly with a full declaration of war and no other way?'
Ron Paul
I can not believe that war is the best solution. No one won the last war, and no one will win the next war.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Anyone who thinks must think of the next war as they would of suicide.
Eleanor Roosevelt
