Warring Quotes (page 70)

Jeanette Rankin quote: "The greatest threat to peace is the barrage of rightist..."
The greatest threat to peace is the barrage of rightist propaganda portraying war as decent, honorable, and patriotic. Jeanette Rankin
Unfortunately, that still leaves plenty of Americans who don't read much or think much -- who will still be extremely useful in unjust wars. We are sick about that. We did the best we could. Kurt Vonnegut
Thomas Jefferson quote: "Whatever enables us to go to war, secures our peace"
Whatever enables us to go to war, secures our peace Thomas Jefferson
Give 'em all the same grub and all the same pay/And the war would be over and done in a day." - All Quiet On The Western Front, Ch. 3 Erich Maria Remarque
I want you to remember, that no poor dumb bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it, by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country. George S. Patton
Herodotus quote: "No one is so foolish as to prefer war to peace, in which,..."
No one is so foolish as to prefer war to peace, in which, instead of sons burying their fathers, fathers bury their sons. Herodotus
What do you think an artist is? An imbecile who only has eyes, if he is a painter, or ears if he is a musician, or a lyre in every chamber of his heart if he is a poet, or even, if he is a boxer, just his muscles? Far from it: at the same time he is also a political being, constantly aware of the heartbreaking, passionate, or delightful things that happen in the world, shaping himself completely in their image. How could it be possible to feel no interest in other people, and with a cool... Pablo Picasso
An atheist believes that a hospital should be built instead of a church. An atheist believes that deed must be done instead of prayer said. An atheist strives for involvement in life and not escape into death. He wants disease conquered, poverty vanished, war eliminated. Madalyn Murray O'Hair
As for the story itself, it was entitled "The Dancing Fool." Like so many Trout stories, it was about a tragic failure to communicate. Here was the plot: A flying saucer creature named Zog arrived on Earth to explain how wars could be prevented and how cancer could be cured. He brought the information from Margo, a planet where the natives conversed by means of farts and tap dancing. Zog landed at night in Connecticut. He had no sooner touched down than he saw a house on fire. He rushed into... Kurt Vonnegut
Frances Hodgson Burnett quote: "Soldiers don't complain...I am not going to do it; I will..."
Soldiers don't complain...I am not going to do it; I will pretend this is part of a war. Frances Hodgson Burnett
If you will tell me when God permits a Christian to lay aside his armour, I will tell you when Satan has left off temptation. Like the old knights in war time, we must sleep with helmet and breastplate buckled on, for the arch-deceiver will seize our first unguarded hour to make us his prey. The Lord keep us watchful in all seasons, and give us a final escape from the jaw of the lion and the paw of the bear. Charles Spurgeon
If you are for Allah, I am for Al-Lat. And she doesn't believe your God when he recognizes her. Her opposition to him is implacable, irrevocable, engulfing. The war between us cannot end in truce. And what a truce! Yours is a patronizing, condescending lord. Al-Lat hasn't the slightest wish to be Allah's daughter. She is his equal, as I am yours. Salman Rushdie
There was a time when I didn’t at any minute have the slightest idea how I could reach the next one. Yes, one can wage war in this world, ape love, torture one’s fellow man, or merely say evil of one’s neighbour while knitting. But, in certain cases, carrying on, merely continuing, is superhuman. Albert Camus
William Shakespeare quote: "Cheerily to sea; the signs of war advance: No king of England,..."
Cheerily to sea; the signs of war advance: No king of England, if not king of France William Shakespeare
It happened, you see, after the war, when I saw people making money while the others were dying in the trenches. You saw it and you couldn't do anything about it. Then later I was at the League of Nations, and there I saw the light. I really saw the world was ruled by the Golden Calf, by Mammon! Oh, no kidding! Implacably. Social consciousness certainly came to me late. Louis-Ferdinand Celine
