Peace is not the absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means.

No war is inevitable until it breaks out.

Freedom is often the first casualty of war.

If you want peace, prepare for war.

A plausible war is preferable to a dishonourable peace.

Gold is the nerve of the war.

There is no security in war.

Real men despise battle, but will never run from it.

Whoever wants peace among nations must seek to limit the state and its influence most strictly.

Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality that guarantees the others.

War is sweet to those who have no experience of it.

No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.

If it's natural to kill, why do men have to go into training to learn to do it?

No one won the last war, and no one will win the next war.

Peace is not achieved by controlling nations, but by mastering our thoughts.

In the end, peace can be achieved only by hegemony or by the balance of power.

The greatest test of courage on the earth is to bear defeat without losing heart.

It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.

If you like war, be a nationalist. If you like peace, be a citizen of the world.
