~ War is the unfolding of miscalculations ~
~ War has been more common than peace, and extended periods of peace have been rare in a world divided into multiple states ~

~ There are no warlike people, just warlike leaders. ~
~ You can't say civilization don't advance -- for in every war, they kill you in a new way. ~
