“There was never a good war or a bad peace.”
Benjamin Franklin
“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 don't know what weapons will be used in world war three, but in world war four people will use sticks and stones.”
Albert Einstein
“An inglorious peace is better than a dishonorable war”
“The real and lasting victories are those of peace, and not of war.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.”
“War does not determine who is right - only who is left.”
Bertrand Russell
“Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”
Hermann Goering
“In war, you can only be killed once, but in politics, many times.”
Winston Churchill
“I dream of giving birth to a child who will ask, "Mother, what was war?"”
