The real and lasting victories are those of peace, and not of war.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is well that war is so terrible, or we should grow too fond of it.
Robert E. Lee
A self-respecting nation is ready for anything, including war, except for a renunciation of its option to make war.
Simone Weil
War is a series of catastrophes that results in a victory.
Georges Clemenceau
War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children.
Jimmy Carter
Politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed.
Mao Tse-Tung

Edward Abbey
War is a game in which princes seldom win, the people never
Charles Caleb Colton
War is not one disaster of milions of people. War is milions of disasters of one person.

More than an end to war, we want an end to the beginning of all wars - yes, an end to this brutal, inhuman and thoroughly impractical method of settling the differences between governments.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
War puts its questions stupidly, peace mysteriously.
Andre Malraux
