All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

Those wars are unjust which are undertaken without provocation. For only a war waged for revenge or defense can be just.

I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood for vengeance for desolation. War is hell.

Today we know that World War II began not in 1939 or 1941 but in the 1920's and 1930's when those who should have known better persuaded themselves that they were not their brother's keeper.

War is never economically beneficial except for those in position to profit from war expenditures.

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 are not clothed.

Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinions of others for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth.

I'm one of those people you hate because of genetics. It is the truth.

Of all liars the most arrogant are biographers: those who would have us believe having surveyed a few boxes full of letters diaries bank statements and photographs that they can play at the recording angel and tell the whole truth about another human life.

God help us from those who believe that they are the sole possessors of truth. How we manage at times to agree willingly to become prisoners within our own minds and souls of beliefs and ideas on which we can never be flexible.
