“War alone brings up to their highest tension all human energies and imposes the stamp of nobility upon the peoples who have the courage to make it.”
Benito Mussolini
“War is awful. Nothing, not the valor with which it is fought nor the nobility of the cause it serves, can glorify war. War is wretched beyond description and only a fool or a fraud could sentimentalize its cruel reality. Whatever is won in war, it is loss the veteran remembers.”
John McCain
“Whenever a man does a thoroughly stupid thing, it is always from the noblest motives.”
Oscar Wilde

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Marcus Tullius Cicero
“There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow men. True nobility lies in being superior to your former self.”
Elijah Wood
“There is nothing noble in being superior to some other person. The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self.”
