In war as in life, it is often necessary when some cherished scheme has failed, to take up the best alternative open, and if so, it is folly not to work for it with all your might.

Politics are very much like war. We may even have to use poison gas at times.

War is mainly a catalogue of blunders.

If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children.

As long as war is regarded as wicked, it will always have its fascination. When it is looked upon as vulgar, it will cease to be popular.
