- It is good that war is so horrible, or we might grow to like it.
- Robert E. Lee on War
- It is hard, I submit, to loathe bloodshed, including war, more than I do, but it is still harder to exceed my loathing of the very nature of totalitarian states in which massacre is only an administrative detail.
- Vladimir Nabokov on War
- It is in war that the State really comes into its own: swelling in power, in number, in pride, in absolute dominion over the economy and the society.
- Murray Rothbard on War
- It is inhuman to continue a war which could easily be ended.
- Friedrich Durrenmatt on War
- It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.
- Albert Einstein on War
- It is not enough to say we must not wage war. It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it.
- Martin Luther King, Jr. on War
- It is not only the living who are killed in war.
- Isaac Asimov on War
- It is not patriotic to commit young Americans to war unless our national security clearly requires it.
- George McGovern on War
- It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell.
- William Tecumseh Sherman on War
- It is our duty still to endeavor to avoid war but if it shall actually take place, no matter by whom brought on, we must defend ourselves. If our house be on fire, without inquiring whether it was fired from within or without, we must try to extinguish it.
- Thomas Jefferson on War
- It is part of the general pattern of misguided policy that our country is now geared to an arms economy which was bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and nurtured upon an incessant propaganda of fear.
- Douglas MacArthur on War
- It is the youth who must inherit the tribulation, the sorrow... that are the aftermath of war.
- Herbert Hoover on War
- It is to be observed that every case of war averted is a gain in general, for it helps to form a habit of peace, and community habits long continued become standards of conduct.
- Elihu Root on War
- It is well known that in war, the first casualty is truth - that during any war truth is forsaken for propaganda.
- Harry Browne on War
- It is well that war is so terrible. We should grow too fond of it.
- Robert E. Lee on War
- It required a strong heart to stand up against such talk, but I urged my people to be quiet and not to begin a war.
- Chief Joseph on War
- It seems like such a terrible shame that innocent civilians have to get hurt in wars, otherwise combat would be such a wonderfully healthy way to rid the human race of unneeded trash.
- Fred Woodworth on War
- It was a requirement by the veterans to list the 57,000 names. We're reaching a time that we'll acknowledge the individual in a war on a national level.
- It was definitely a part of our life. I mean, my mom had both her brothers and her fiancee in Vietnam at the same time, so it wasn't just my dad's story, it was my mom's story too. And we definitely grew up listening to the stories.
- Vanessa Kerry on War
- It was my duty to shoot the enemy, and I don't regret it. My regrets are for the people I couldn't save: Marines, soldiers, buddies. I'm not naive, and I don't romanticize war. The worst moments of my life have come as a SEAL. But I can stand before God with a clear conscience about doing my job.
- Chris Kyle on War
- It was quite a European war until 1917, when the Americans joined up. They don't have the same sense of the loss of innocence and the cataclysmic loss of life. A whole generation was wiped out.
- Tom Hiddleston on War
- It's a sad day when the leaders of the free world engage in such deception and trickery. I voted against this unnecessary war and will continue to argue that the best way to support our troops is to bring them home.
- Major R. Owens on War
- It's a tough thing, to know what to do about a war that deep in your gut you feel is wrong and yet watch your peers going off to fight in that war.
- George McGovern on War
- It's a war of attrition. If you have patience and a modicum of faith in yourself your chances are not too bad.
- Julie Bowen on War
- It's an interesting combination: Having a great fear of being alone, and having a desperate need for solitude and the solitary experience. That's always been a tug of war for me.
- Jodie Foster on War
- It's never acceptable to target civilians. It violates the Geneva Accords, it violates the international law of war and it violates all principles of morality.
- Alan Dershowitz on War
- It's very important to go back and keep in mind the distinction between handling these events as criminal acts, which was the way we did before 9/11, and then looking at 9/11 and saying, 'This is not a criminal act,' not when you destroy 16 acres of Manhattan, kill 3,000 Americans, blow a big hole in the Pentagon. That's an act of war.
- Dick Cheney on War
