Quotes about war
Get 'em all home, add to their number, add to their training, then just sit tight with a great feeling of security and just read about foreign wars. That's the best thing in the world to do with them.
Will Rogers
It is well that war is so terrible, or we should grow too fond of it.
Robert E. Lee
There is only one way in the world to prevent war, and that is for every nation to tend to its own business.
Will Rogers
Take the profits out of war, and you won't have any war.
Will Rogers
The most fundamental paradox is that, if we're never to use force, we must be prepared to use it and to use it successfully. We Americans don't want war, and we don't start fights. We don't maintain a strong military force to conquer or coerce others. The purpose of our military is simple and straightforward: we want to prevent war by deterring others from the aggression that causes war. If our efforts are successful, we will have peace and never be forced into battle. There will never be a need to fire a single shot. That's the paradox of deterrence.
Ronald Wilson Reagan
None of the four wars in my lifetime came about because we were too strong. It is weakness that invites adventurous adversaries to make mistaken judgments. America is the most peaceful, least warlike nation in modern history. We are not the cause of all the ills of the world. We're a patient and generous people. But for the sake of our freedom and that of others, we cannot permit our reserve to be confused with a lack of resolve.
Ronald Wilson Reagan
I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
Albert Einstein
Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
If what is saved in the productive peace of today is to be lost in the destructive war of tomorrow, the people of this earth can look forward to nothing but everlasting servitude.
Calvin Coolidge
