"What is absurd and monstrous about war is that men who have no personal quarrel should be trained to murder one another in cold blood."
Aldous Huxley
"No country can act wisely simultaneously in every part of the globe at every moment of time."
Henry Kissinger
"Wars are, of course, as a rule to be avoided; but they are far better than certain kinds of peace."
Theodore Roosevelt
"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die."
George Washington
"To morrow being the day set apart by the Honorable Congress for public Thanksgiving and Praise; and duty calling us devoutely to express our grateful acknowledgements to God for the manifold blessings he has granted us. The General directs that the army remain in it's present quarters, and that the Chaplains perform divine service with their several Corps and brigades. And earnestly exhorts, all officers and soldiers, whose absence is not indispensibly necessary, to attend with reverence the solemnities of the day."
George Washington
"You will therefore send me none but Natives, and Men of some property, if you have them."
George Washington
"You have not been mistaken in supposing my views and feeling to be in favor of the abolition of war. Of my dispos[i]tion to maintain peace until its condition shall be made less tolerable than that of war itself, the world has had proofs, and more, perhaps, than it has approved. I hope it is practicable, by improving the mind and morals of society, to lessen the dispos[i]tion to war; but of its abolition I despair."
Thomas Jefferson
"The basic problems facing the world today are not susceptible to a military solution."
John F. Kennedy
"Real pain can alone cure us of imaginary ills. We feel a thousand miseries till we are lucky enough to feel misery."
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
"If I had a formula for bypassing trouble, I would not pass it round. Trouble creates a capacity to handle it. I don't embrace trouble; that's as bad as treating it as an enemy. But I do say meet it as a friend, for you'll see a lot of it and had better be on speaking terms with it."
Oliver Wendell Holmes
"Ability will never catch up with the demand for it."
Malcolm Forbes
"In order for a war to be just, three things are necessary. First, the authority of the sovereign.... Secondly, a just cause.... Thirdly ... a rightful intention."
Thomas Aquinas
"The worst guilt is to accept an unearned guilt."
Ayn Rand
"The Army has carried the American ... ideal to its logical conclusion. Not only do they prohibit discrimination on the grounds of race, creed and color, but also on ability."
Tom Lehrer
"Everyone's a pacifist between wars. It's like being a vegetarian between meals."
Colman McCarthy
"Let me embrace thee, sour adversity, for wise men say it is the wisest course."
William Shakespeare
"If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you got a problem. Everything else is inconvenience."
Robert Fulghum
