As peace is of all goodness, so war is an emblem, a hieroglyphic, of all misery.

War to the castles; peace to the cottages.

War is the child of pride, and pride the daughter of riches.

Don’t talk to me about naval tradition. It’s nothing but rum, sodomy, and the lash.

I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. War is hell.

Sometime they’ll give a war and nobody will come.

Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.

I went [to war] because I couldn’t help it. I didn’t want the glory or the pay; I wanted the right thing done.

There never was a good war or a bad peace.

The fear of war is worse than war itself.

You furnish the pictures, and I’ll furnish the war.
