I hate war for its consequences, for the lies it lives on and propagates, for the undying hatreds it arouses, for the dictatorships it puts in the place of democracies, and for the starvation that stalks after it. I hate war, and never again will I sanction or support another. – Harry Emerson Fosdick

What a cruel thing war is… to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors. – Robert E. Lee

War is not merely a political act but a real political instrument, a continuation of political intercourse, a carrying out of the same by other means. – Karl Von Clausewitz

We often give our enemies the means to our own destruction. – Aesop
