Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing that we know about living.~ General Omar Bradley The constitutional right of free speech has been declared to be the same in peace and war. In peace, too, men may differ widely as to what loyalty to our country demands, and an intolerant majority, swayed by passion or by fear, may be prone in the future, as it has been in the past, to stamp as disloyal opinions with which it disagrees.~ Justice Louis D. Brandeis Friendship is the only cure for hatred, the only guarantee of peace.~ Buddha After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn't do it. I sure as hell wouldn't want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military.~ William S. Burroughs My vision of a 'new world order' foresees a United Nations with a revitalized peacekeeping function.~ George Herbert Walker Bush The choice is his [Saddam Hussein's], and if he does not disarm, the United States of America will lead a coalition and disarm him in the name of Peace.~ George W. Bush He makes a solitude, and calls it - peace.~ Lord Byron When the swords flash let no idea of love, piety, or even the face of your fathers move you.~ Gaius Julius Caesar You can do more with a kind word and a gun than with just a kind word.~ Al Capone The decision to attack the entire nation [of Yugoslavia] has been counterproductive, and our destruction of civilian life has now become senseless and excessively brutal. ... The United States' insistence on the use of cluster bombs, designed to kill or maim humans, is condemned almost universally and brings discredit on our nation (as does our refusal to support a ban on land mines). Even for the world's only superpower, the ends don't always justify the means.~ Jimmy Carter Perhaps the removal of trade restrictions throughout the world would do more for the cause of universal peace than can any political union of peoples separated by trade barriers.~ Frank Chodorov Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free, and life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fall, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age... Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.'~ Sir Winston Churchill Today we may say aloud before an awe-struck world: 'We are still masters of our fate. We are still captain of our souls.'~ Sir Winston Churchill Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees all others.~ Sir Winston Churchill In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.~ Sir Winston Churchill I would say to the House, as I said to those who have joined this government, I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our policy? I will say: It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: Victory -- victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival.~ Sir Winston Churchill This truth may be unfashionable, unpalatable, no doubt unpopular, but, if it is the truth, the story of mankind shows that war was universal and unceasing for millions of years before armaments were invented or armies organized. Indeed, the lucid intervals of peace and order only occurred in human history after armaments in the hands of strong governments have come into being, and civilization in every age has been nursed only in cradles guarded by superior weapons and superior discipline.~ Winston Churchill ...there is no provision in the Charter itself that contemplates ending war. It is true the Charter provides for force to bring peace, but such use of force is itself war... The Charter is a war document not a peace document... Not only does the Charter Organization not prevent future wars, but it makes it practically certain that we shall have future wars, and as to such wars it takes from us the power to declare them, to choose the side on which we shall fight, to determine what forces and military equipment we shall use in the war, and to control and command our sons who do the fighting.~ J. Reuben Clark, Jr. He who wants peace must prepare for war.~ Claudius War is too serious a matter to entrust to military men.~ Georges Clemenceau Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
