“A boy doesn't have to go to war to be a hero; he can say he doesn't like pie when he sees there isn't enough to go around”
Edgar Watson Howe
“All war must be just the killing of strangers against whom you feel no personal animosity; strangers whom, in other circumstances, you would help if you found them in trouble, and who would help you if you needed it”
Mark Twain
“I have a scheme for stopping war. It's this -- no nation is allowed to enter a war till they have paid for the last one.”
Will Rogers
“Offering thanks in the midst of tragedy is an American tradition, ... even during a bloody Civil War.”
Abraham Lincoln
“The triumphs of peace have been in some proximity to war. Whilst the hand was still familiar with the sword-hilt, whilst the habits of the camp were still visible in the port and complexion of the gentleman, his intellectual power culminated; the compression and tension of these stern conditions is a training for the finest and softest arts, and can rarely be compensated in tranquil times, except by some analogous vigor drawn from occupations as hardy as war.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“We give up leisure in order that we may have leisure, just as we go to war in order that we may have peace”
Aristotle
“I don´t know the weapons that will used in the Third Great War, but in the Forth Great War men will kill each other with stones and wood clubs.”
Albert Einstein
