Wars Quotes
-
Religion isn't the cause of wars, it's the excuse.
Jasper Fforde
-
I am convinced that it is one of the most unjust wars that has ever been fought in the history of the world. Our involvement in the war in Vietnam has torn up the Geneva Accord. It has strengthened the military-industrial complex; it has strengthened the forces of reaction in our nation. It has put us against the self-determination of a vast majority of the Vietnamese people, and put us in the position of protecting a corrupt regime that is stacked against the poor.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
-
Young men make wars, and the virtues of war are the virtues of young men: courage, and hope for the future. Then old men make the peace, and the vices of peace are the vices of old men: mistrust and caution.
Alec Guinness
-
Your love has build me from strength to strength. It has made me a stronger and better person than I was. There is nothing that love cannot change darling. Once you fall in love, even wars turn to love stories.
Thomas More
-
Rock and roll cola wars, I can't take it any more.
Billy Joel
-
I think that many of the mobilizations against the wars waged by the US and its allies since 2001 have been non-violent and massive. We have seen them throughout European capitals and in the US, and in many other parts of the world as well. So it is not only imaginable, but already actual.
Judith Butler
-
We have been involved in more wars, on a bilateral basis, since the United Nations was formed than any other country by far.
Jimmy Carter
-
Wars are not favourable to delicate pleasures.
J. R. R. Tolkien
-
In the midst of global crises such as pollution, wars and famine, kindness may be too easily dismissed as a 'soft' issue, or a luxury to be addressed after the urgent problems are solved. But kindness is the greatest need in all those areas - kindness toward the environment, toward other nations, toward the needs of people who are suffering. Until we reflect basic kindness in everything we do, our political gestures will be fleeting and fragile.
Bo Lozoff
-
Other wars end eventually in victory, defeat or exhaustion, but the war between men and women goes on forever.
Alison Lurie
-
Depressions, local and larger strikes, boom times, wars, repressions, all impact a life as do epidemics such as AIDS and pollution that may take years off a person's life. We all, whether we like it or not and whether we acknowledge it or not, are impacted by the racial attitudes we carry within us, and experience in some form every time we turn on the television, the radio, go to a movie, read a magazine or a newspaper, or walk down the street.
Marge Piercy
-
People regard the same things, some as just and others as unjust, - about these they dispute; and so there arise wars and fightings among them.
Plato
-
A pacifist between wars is like a vegetarian between meals.
Ammon Hennacy
-
A lot of wars are fought between black and whites daily in America. But if it's something I want to be with, the people who started it were black, I wouldn't not get in it.
Muhammad Ali
-
If wars were fought only by the men on the ground, the men facing one another in real battle, most wars would end quickly and sensibly. Men are smart and men are animals, in that they don't want to die so simply for so little.
Anthony Swofford
-
Through my time in the military and my deployments, I have recognized the importance of having a Commander in Chief who will not only go after those who threaten the safety and security of the American people, but who will also exercise good judgment and foresight in stopping these failed interventionist wars of regime change that have cost our country so much in human lives, untold suffering, and trillions of dollars.
Tulsi Gabbard
-
Wars begin when you will, but they do not end when you please.
Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli
-
The anarch wages his own wars, even when marching in rank and file.
Ernst Junger
