Quote DB :: War & Peace Search in this category Sponsored Links Quote Author Rating Rate "There are some who've forgotten why we have a military. It's not to promote war; it's to be prepared for peace." Ronald Reagan "There is nothing easier than lopping off heads and nothing harder than developing ideas." Fyodor Dostoevsky "There will one day spring from the brain of science a machine or force so fearful in its potentialities, so absolutely terrifying, that even man, the fighter, who will dare torture and death in order to inflict torture and death, will be appalled, and so abandon war forever." Thomas Edison "But could not our situation be compared to one of a menacing epidemic? People are unable to view this situation in its true light, for their eyes are blinded by passion. General fear and anxiety create hatred and aggressiveness. The adaptation to warlike aims and activities has corrupted the mentality of man; as a result, intelligent, objective and humane thinking has hardly any effect and is even suspected and persecuted as unpatriotic." Albert Einstein "There are two things which a democratic people will always find very difficult - to begin a war and to end it." Alexis de Tocqueville "War is an instrument entirely inefficient toward redressing wrong; and multiplies, instead of indemnifying losses." Thomas Jefferson "Wars are caused by undefended wealth." Ernest Hemingway "Gandhi was inevitable. If humanity is to progress, Gandhi is inescapable. He lived, thought and acted, inspired by the vision of humanity evolving toward a world of peace and harmony. We may ignore Gandhi at our own risk." Martin Luther King Jr. "I do not want the peace that passeth understanding, I want the understanding that brings peace." Helen Keller "Talk of imminent threat to our national security through the application of external force is pure nonsense. Indeed 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 "The urge for destruction is also a creative urge." Mikhail Bakunin "A bad peace is even worse than war." Tacitus "Peace and justice are two sides of the same coin." Dwight Eisenhower "The whole art of war consists in a well-reasoned and extremely circumspect defensive, followed by rapid and audacious attack." Napoleon Bonaparte "Strength lies not in defense but in attack." Adolf Hitler "We are going to have peace even if we have to fight for it." Dwight Eisenhower "I would rather have peace in the world than be President." Harry Truman "War is an art and as such is not susceptible of explanation by fixed formula." George Patton "Even peace may be purchased at too high a price." Benjamin Franklin "Everyone's a pacifist between wars. It's like being a vegetarian between meals."
