War
-
It is our duty still to endeavor to avoid war but if it shall actually take place, no matter by whom brought on, we must defend ourselves. If our house be on fire, without inquiring whether it was fired from within or without, we must try to extinguish it.
-
In war, you can only be killed once, but in politics, many times.
-
Those who can win a war well can rarely make a good peace and those who could make a good peace would never have won the war.
-
I am never going to have anything more to do with politics or politicians. When this war is over I shall confine myself entirely to writing and painting.

War is a game that is played with a smile. If you can't smile, grin. If you can't grin, keep out of the way till you can.
