So long as governments set the example of killing their enemies, private citizens will occasionally kill their.s

Getting caught is the mother of invention.

But in modern war you will die like a dog for no good reason.

It is when we all play safe that we create a world of the utmost insecurity.

If my soldiers were to begin to think, not one would remain in the ranks.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.

To my mind to kill in war is not a whit better than to commit ordinary murder.

The master class has always declared the wars; the subject class has always fought the battles. The master class had all to gain and nothing to lose, while the subject class has had nothing to gain and all to lose - especially their lives.

The best soldiers are not warlike.

War like any other racket, pays high dividends to the very few. The cost of operations is always transferred to the people who do not profit.
