War makes strange giant creatures out of us little routine men who inhabit the earth.

Do you know what a soldier is young man? He's the chap who makes it possible for civilised folk to despise war.

In our Country... one class of men makes war and leaves another to fight it out.

There is hardly such a thing as a war in which it makes no difference who wins. Nearly always one side stands more of less for progress the other side more or less for reaction.

A democracy which makes or even effectively prepares for modern scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic. No country can be really well prepared for modern war unless it is governed by a tyrant at the head of a highly trained and perfectly obedient bureaucracy.

One must always try to see the truth of a situation - it makes things universal.

Getting rid of a delusion makes us wiser than getting hold of a truth.

I know what I like in other actors: truth. That's the best. It makes you say 'OK I'll go with you on this.'

Losing an illusion makes you wiser than finding a truth.

If I can get you to laugh with me you like me better which makes you more open to my ideas. And if I can persuade you to laugh at the particular point I make by laughing at it you acknowledge its truth.
