War
(page 5)
I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.
We've waged war on work. We have collectively agreed, stupidly, that work is the enemy.
Sometimes by losing a battle you find a new way to win the war.
The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.
The power of an air force is terrific when there is nothing to oppose it.
War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.
The war we are fighting today against terrorism is a multifaceted fight. We have to use every tool in our toolkit to wage this war — diplomacy, finance, intelligence, law enforcement, and of course, military power — and we are developing new tools as we go along.
We don't even know how strong we are until we are forced to bring that hidden strength forward. In times of tragedy, of war, of necessity, people do amazing things. The human capacity for survival and renewal is awesome.
Brave men rejoice in adversity, just as brave soldiers triumph in war.
We owe our World War II veterans — and all our veterans — a debt we can never fully repay.
World War II had a very important impact on the development of technology, as a whole.
People never lie so much as after a hunt, during a war or before an election.
To hold a pen is to be at war.
The story of FDR as U.S. Commander in Chief is a heroic war story of a president who had already overcome great adversity in facing polio but who went on to take the reins of our armed forces in the greatest conflagration in human history — on our behalf.
I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity.
The real and lasting victories are those of peace, and not of war.
Anyone who has ever looked into the glazed eyes of a soldier dying on the battlefield will think hard before starting a war.
Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.
The negative effects of combat were nightmares, and I'd get jumpy around certain noises and stuff, but you'd have that after a car accident or a bad divorce. Life's filled with trauma. You don't need to go to war to find it; it's going to find you. We all deal with it, and the effects go away after awhile. At least they did for me.
There is no avoiding war; it can only be postponed to the advantage of others.
