There is no avoiding war it can only be postponed to the advantage of others.
It is well that war is so terrible. We should grow too fond of it.
Patriots always talk of dying for their country and never of killing for their country.
I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.
Only the dead have seen the end of the war.
What is human warfare but just this an effort to make the laws of God and nature take sides with one party.
In peace, sons bury their fathers. In war, fathers bury their sons.
In my dreams I hear again the crash of guns, the rattle of musketry, the strange, mournful mutter of the battlefield.
All war is deception.
There was never a good war, or a bad peace.
