War

The savage in man is never quite eradicated.
- Thoreau, Henry David
War Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about War

1.
America is addicted to wars of distraction.
Ehrenreich, Barbara

2.
What we believe is more important than our material existence, therefore warfare is a legitimate extension of values.
Johnson, Edward

3.
The war is dreadful. It is the business of the artist to follow it home to the heart of the individual fighters -- not to talk in armies and nations and numbers -- but to track it home.
Lawrence, D. H.

4.
Those who are at war with others are not at peace with themselves.
Hazlitt, William

5.
If the frontline people do count, you couldn't prove it by examining the reward systems in most organizations.
Albrecht, Karl

6.
To be happy is to be able to become aware of oneself without fright.
Benjamin, Walter

7.
The greatest braggarts are usually the biggest cowards.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

8.
A reward cannot be valued if it is not understood
Grant, Phillip C.

9.
The Oscars demonstrate the will of the people to control and judge those they have elected to stand above them (much, perhaps, as in bygone days, an election celebrated the same).
Mamet, David

10.
A just war is hospitable to every self-deception on the part of those waging it, none more than the certainty of virtue, under whose shelter every abomination can be committed with a clear conscience.
Cockburn, Alexander

11.
The cross of the Legion of Honor has been conferred on me. However, few escape that distinction.
Twain, Mark

12.
It is better to be a coward for a minute than dead for the rest of your life.
Proverb, Irish

13.
War is not a life: it is a situation, one which may neither be ignored nor accepted.
Eliot, T. S.

14.
Blunders are an inescapable feature of war, because choice in military affairs lies generally between the bad and the worse.
Massie, Allan

15.
Like Olympic medals and tennis trophies, all they signified was that the owner had done something of no benefit to anyone more capably than everyone else.
Heller, Joseph

16.
What a country calls its vital economic interests are not the things which enable its citizens to live, but the things which enable it to make war. Petrol is more likely than wheat to be a cause of international conflict.
Weil, Simone

17.
No man, who continues to add something to the material, intellectual and moral well-being of the place in which he lives, is left long without proper reward.
Washington, Booker T.

18.
One day President Roosevelt told me that he was asking publicly for suggestions about what the war should be called. I said at once'The Unnecessary War'.
Sir Winston Churchill

19.
The idea of thanking staff should mean giving them something that they would never buy for themselves.
Crook, Jayne

20.
Covetousness like jealousy, when it has taken root, never leaves a person, but with their life. Cowardice is the dread of what will happen.
Epictetus

21.
War has always been the grand sagacity of every spirit which has grown too inward and too profound; its curative power lies even in the wounds one receives.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

22.
A coward gets scared and quits. A hero gets scared, but still goes on.

23.
War is much too serious a matter to be entrusted to the military.
Georges Clemenceau

24.
If we justify war, it is because all peoples always justify the traits of which they find themselves possessed, not because war will bear an objective examination of its merits.
Benedict, Ruth

25.
I see that old flagpole still stands. Have your troops hoist the colors to its peak, and let no enemy ever haul them down.
Macarthur, Douglas

26.
Sometime they'll give a war and nobody will come.
Carl Sandburg

27.
That man is not truly brave who is afraid either to seem or to be, when it suits him, a coward.
Poe, Edgar Allan

28.
Our young people have come to look upon war as a kind of beneficent deity, which not only adds to the national honor but uplifts a nation and develops patriotism and courage. That is all true. But it is only fair, too, to let them know that the garments of the deity are filthy and that some of her influences debase and befoul a people.
Davis, Rebecca Harding

29.
Most people grow old within a small circle of ideas, which they have not discovered for themselves. There are perhaps less wrong-minded people than thoughtless.
Vauvenargues, Marquis De

30.
Either war is obsolete or men are.
R. Buckminster Fuller

31.
Older men declare war. But it is youth that must fight and die.
Hoover, Herbert Clark

32.
The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.
Sun Tzu

33.
Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.
Sir Winston Churchill

34.
It is well that war is so terrible - otherwise we would grow too fond of it.
Robert E. Lee

35.
When the adulation of life is gone, the coward sneaks to his death, but the brave live on.
Sewell, George

36.
There are several good protections against temptation, but the surest is cowardice.
Twain, Mark

37.
You can't say that civilization don't advance, however, for in every war they kill you in a new way.
Will Rogers

38.
War is thus divine in itself, since it is a law of the world. War is divine through its consequences of a supernatural nature which are as much general as particular. War is divine in the mysterious glory that surrounds it and in the no less inexplicable attraction that draws us to it. War is divine by the manner in which it breaks out.
Maistre, Joseph De

39.
I think the mark of a great ruler, is not his ability to make war but to achieve peace.
Monica Fairview

40.
What the horrors of war are, no one can imagine. They are not wounds and blood and fever, spotted and low, or dysentery, chronic and acute, cold and heat and famine. They are intoxication, drunken brutality, demoralization and disorder on the part of the inferior... jealousies, meanness, indifference, selfish brutality on the part of the superior.
Nightingale, Florence

41.
He who wishes to secure the good of others has already secured his own.
Confucius

42.
War: first, one hopes to win; then one expects the enemy to lose; then, one is satisfied that he too is suffering; in the end, one is surprised that everyone has lost.
Kraus, Karl

43.
It is open to a war resister to judge between the combatants and wish success to the one who has justice on his side. By so judging he is more likely to bring peace between the two than by remaining a mere spectator.
Gandhi, Mahatma

44.
To know what is right and not do it is the worst cowardice.
Confucius

45.
Frankly, I'd like to see the government get out of war altogether and leave the whole field to private industry.
Heller, Joseph

46.
All men would be cowards if they could.
Rochester, Earl

47.
The man who is aware of himself is henceforward independent; and he is never bored, and life is only too short, and he is steeped through and through with a profound yet temperate happiness.
Woolf, Virginia

48.
The coward threatens when he is safe.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

49.
If it were not for the war, this war would suit me down to the ground.
Sayers, Dorothy L.

50.
So you think you can tell heaven from hell blue skies from pain. Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail, a smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts hot ashes for trees, hot air for a cool breeze, cold comfort for change? Did you exchange a walk on part in a war for a lead role in a cage?
Waters, R.
