"If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable; and let it come! I repeat, Sir, let it come!"
Patrick Henry
"The only way to win World War III is to prevent it."
Dwight Eisenhower
"I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of their way and let them have it."
Dwight Eisenhower
"To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace."
George Washington
"Love is like war: easy to begin but very hard to stop."
Henry Mencken
"A tyrant is always stirring up some war or other, in order that the people may require a leader."
Plato
"There is no glory in battle worth the blood it costs."
Dwight Eisenhower
"True peace is not merely the absence of tension: it is the presence of justice."
Martin Luther King Jr.
"The whole art of war consists in a well-reasoned and extremely circumspect defensive, followed by rapid and audacious attack."
Napoleon Bonaparte
"You don't need to be 'straight' to fight and die for your country. You just need to shoot straight."
Barry Goldwater

Winston Churchill
"There is nothing more exhilarating than to be shot at without result."
Winston Churchill
"In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies."
Winston Churchill
"If you go on with this nuclear arms race, all you are going to do is make the rubble bounce."
Winston Churchill
"Wars are seldom caused by spontaneous hatreds between people, for peoples in general are too ignorant of one another to have grievances and too indifferent to what goes on beyond their borders to plan conquests. They must be urged to the slaughter by politicians who know how to alarm them."
Henry Mencken
"History teaches that wars begin when governments believe the price of aggression is cheap."
Ronald Reagan
"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
"Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars."
Martin Luther King Jr.
"There is no such thing as a good war and there is no such thing as a bad peace."
Benjamin Franklin

Mikhail Bakunin
