War Quotes A-Z by Author |
Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives.. you are now lying in
the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference
between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in
this country of ours.. You the mothers who sent their sons from far away countries
wipe away your tears. Your sons are now living in our bosom and are in peace.
Having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well
Mustafa
Kemal Ataturk - Life
- War
With a small fraction of the hundreds of billions of dollars spent on the
Iraq war, the US and Australia could ensure every starving, sunken-eyed child
on the planet could be well fed, have clean water and sanitation and a local school
to go to.

We're taking action against evil people.
Because this great nation of many religions
understands, our war is not against Islam,
or against faith practiced by the Muslim
people. Our war is a war against evil. This
is clearly a case of good versus evil, and
make no mistake about it.. good will prevail.
George
Bush - War

I've made it clear, Madam President, that
the war against terrorism is not a war against
Muslims, nor is it a war against Arabs.
It's a war against evil people who conduct
crimes against innocent people.

As Americans, we want peace.. we work and
sacrifice for peace. But there can be no
peace if our security depends on the will
and whims of a ruthless and aggressive dictator.
I'm not willing to stake one American life
on trusting Saddam Hussein.
George
Bush - War

This war has been motivated by pride or
arrogance, by a desire to control oil wealth,
by a desire to implant our programs. (talking
about the Iraq war)
Jimmy
Carter - War
- Greed
- Power
We can drift along as though there were still a cold war, wasting hundreds
of billions of dollars on weapons that will never be used, ignoring the problems
of people in this country and around the world, being one of the worst environmental
violators on earth, standing against any sort of viable programs to protect the
world's forests or to cut down on acid rain or the global warming or ozone depletion.
We can ignore human rights violations in other countries, or we can take these
things on as true leaders ought to and accept the inspiring challenge of America
for the future.
Jimmy
Carter - Environmental

In order for us human beings to commit ourselves personally to the inhumanity
of war, we find it necessary first to dehumanize our opponents, which is in itself
a violation of the beliefs of all religions. Once we characterize our adversaries
as beyond the scope of God's mercy and grace, their lives lose all value.
Jimmy
Carter - War

We must be prepared to face our responsibilities and be willing to use force
if necessary.
Dick
Cheney - War
- Responsibility
Never give in.. never, never, never, never,
in nothing great or small, large or petty,
never give in except to convictions of honour
and good sense. Never yield to force.. never
yield to the apparently overwhelming might
of the enemy.
Winston
Churchill - Strength

We shall fight on the beaches. We shall
fight on the landing grounds. We shall fight
in the fields, and in the streets, we shall
fight in the hills. We shall never surrender!

To have security against atomic bombs and
against the other biological weapons, we
have to prevent war, for if we cannot prevent
war every nation will use every means that
is at their disposal; and in spite of all
promises they make, they will do it. At
the same time, so long as war is not prevented,
all the governments of the nations have
to prepare for war, and if you have to prepare
for war, then you are in a state where you
cannot abolish war.
Albert
Einstein - Responsibility

Let it never be said by future generations
that indifference, cynicism or selfishness
made us fail to live up to the ideals of
humanism which the Nobel Peace Prize encapsulates.
Let the strivings of us all, prove Martin
Luther King Jr. to have been correct, when
he said that humanity can no longer be tragically
bound to the starless midnight of racism
and war.

In spite of Bush's win, the majority of
Americans still think the country is headed
in the wrong direction (56%), think the
war wasn't worth fighting (51%), and don’t
approve of the job George W. Bush is doing
(52%).

The motivation for war is simple. The U.S. government started the war with
Iraq in order to make it easy for U.S. corporations to do business in other countries.
They intend to use cheap labor in those countries, which will make Americans rich.

I personally hold Tony
Blair more responsible for this war (in Iraq) than I do George Bush. The reason
is, Blair knows better, Blair is not an idiot. What is he doing hanging around
this guy?

I don’t oppose all wars. What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed
to is a rash war.
Barack
Obama - War
- Stupid
In my heart I know you didn't come here just for me, you came here because
you believe in what this country can be. In the face of war, you believe there
can be peace. In the face of despair, you believe there can be hope. In the face
of a politics that's shut you out, that's told you to settle, that's divided us
for too long, you believe we can be one people, reaching for what's possible,
building that more perfect union.

If the Americans would only take all the money they have spent on this war
(Iraq), and spend it like Soros has done on civil societies in these countries,
then in 10 years they would have wonderful results.

Russia does not want confrontation of any

of "holy alliance".

Great men rejoice in adversity, just as
brave soldiers triumph in war.
Seneca

I know I have been portrayed as a general
looking for war. Many other headlines speak
of that. That’s what people say. But
I understand the importance of peace because
I saw the horrors of war. That’s how
I see it. I lost my best friends in battles..
and I had to make decisions of life and
death, of others and myself.
Ariel
Sharon - War
- Friendship
- Peace
You ask me if we are going to hold the sword all our lives. If we have to
do it we will do it, but I hope that it won’t be necessary. There are those
among the Palestinians who understand that they will not be able to achieve anything
by force. Those that are ready to speak peace, I am ready to talk and negotiate
with, as a matter of fact I am in contact with them now.
Ariel
Sharon - War

- Achievement
If we are to reach a situation of true peace, real peace, peace for generations,
we will have to make painful concessions. Not in exchange for promises, but rather
in exchange for peace.
Ariel

I have learned from experience that the sword alone cannot decide this bitter
dispute in this land.
Ariel

I was once asked why I don't participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said
that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I'll be
there.
Mother
Teresa - War
- Peace
Please choose the way of peace.. In the short term there may be winners and
losers in this war that we all dread. But that never can, nor never will justify
the suffering, pain and loss of life your weapons will cause.

War has been good to me from a financial standpoint but I don't want to make
money that way. I don't want blood money.

Speed is the essence of war. Take advantage
of the enemy's unpreparedness; travel by
unexpected routes and strike him where he
has taken no precautions.

Tzu - Speed

- Attack
A military operation involves deception.
Even though you are competent, appear to
be incompetent. Though effective, appear
to be ineffective.
Sun
Tzu - Battle
- Strategy
- War
- Military
- Deceptive
If your enemy is secure at all points, be
prepared for him. If he is in superior strength,
evade him. If your opponent is temperamental,
seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak,
that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking
his ease, give him no rest. If his forces
are united, separate them. If sovereign
and subject are in accord, put division
between them. Attack him where he is unprepared,
appear where you are not expected.

He who wishes to fight must first count
the cost. When you engage in actual fighting,
if victory is long in coming, then men's
weapons will grow dull and their ardor will
be dampened. If you lay siege to a town,
you will exhaust your strength.
Sun
Tzu - Fighting

- War

- Wish
In the practical art of war, the best thing
of all is to take the enemy's country whole
and intact; to shatter and destroy it is
not so good. So, too, it is better to recapture
an army entire than to destroy it.
Sun
Tzu - Soldier
- War
- Enemy
- Destroy
- Good
- Army
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.
Oscar
