War is one of the scourges with which it has pleased God to afflict men.

Cardinal Richelieu, in War and Peace

A citizen of America will cross the ocean to fight for democracy, but won't cross the street to vote in a national election.

Bill Vaughan, in Law and Politics and War and Peace

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

John Stuart Mill, in War and Peace

War hath no fury like a non-combatant.

Charles Edward Montague, in War and Peace

One moment on the battlefield is worth a thousand years of peace.

I am become death, shatterer of worlds.

Isn't the best defense always a good attack?

Ovid, in War and Peace

Every soldier is an enemy.

Erno Paasilinna, in War and Peace

A pint of sweat saves a gallon of blood.

In war, there is no substitute for victory.

Douglas MacArthur, in War and Peace

I believe that Ronald Reagan will someday make this country what it once was... an arctic wilderness.

Steve Martin, in War and Peace

Military intelligence is a contradiction in terms.

Groucho Marx, in War and Peace

Military justice is to justice what military music is to music.

Groucho Marx, in War and Peace

All warfare is based on deception.
