Wars Quotes (page 35)

It is inconceivable that even the gang who runs Russia would be willing to take on war, but one always has to remember that there seemed to be no reason in 1939 for Hitler to start war, and yet he did, and he started it with a world practically unprepared. James Forrestal
I took every chance I could to meet with U.S. soldiers. I talked with them and read the books they gave me about the war. I decided I needed to return to my country and join with them - active duty soldiers and Vietnam Veterans in particular - to try and end the war. Jane Fonda
World War II is the greatest drama in human history, the biggest war ever and a true battle of good and evil. I imagine writers will continue to get stories from it, and readers will continue to love them, for many more years. Ken Follet
John T. Flynn quote: "The real peril of war lies not in military defeat. It lies in..."
The real peril of war lies not in military defeat. It lies in war itself, whether we win or lose. John T. Flynn
John Arbuthnot Fisher quote: "The essence of war is violence. Moderation in war is imbecility."
The essence of war is violence. Moderation in war is imbecility. John Arbuthnot Fisher
We were in opposition to the decision to go to war. But after the war happened, it was clear that you could not sit and look-there would be a breeding ground for terrorism or a new collapsed or failed state named Iraq! Joschka Fischer
By Rice's own standards, the war was well underway by the time he took office. He was a war president the moment he took the oath. But did he act like one? Howard Fineman
These are busy times for the Border Patrol, the customs agents, immigration folks; but if we are going to send these agencies to fight a war on drugs, to fight a war against illegal behavior, we have to send them the proper tools. Bob Filner
Francois Fenelon quote: "All wars are civil wars, because all men are brothers."
All wars are civil wars, because all men are brothers. Francois Fenelon
Rebecca Latimer Felton quote: "The utter helplessness of a conquered people is perhaps the..."
The utter helplessness of a conquered people is perhaps the most tragic feature of a civil war or any other sort of war. Rebecca Latimer Felton
I needed to join the Navy. If you ask the people in Europe who won World War II, they don't say the Allies, they say the United States won the war and saved the world. Bob Feller
The whole point of being in the Army is wanting to get killed, wanting to test yourself to the limits. Now you have to fly 15,000ft above the war zone to avoid getting hit. I don't think there is any point in having wars if that's how you're going to behave. It's pathetic. All this whining! Rupert Everett
Lane Evans quote: "World War II was a decisive time in our history and June 6,..."
World War II was a decisive time in our history and June 6, 1944, marked the decisive moment of the war. Lane Evans
I used to think that the Civil War was our country's greatest tragedy, but I do remember that there were some redeeming features in the Civil War in that there was some spirit of sacrifice and heroism displayed on both sides. I see no redeeming features in Watergate. Sam Ervin
I grew up playing war. We threw dirt and rocks at each other. We'd lead attacks. We'd break up into squads. It became a neighborhood thing for a while, our neighborhood against the other neighborhood. There was always a war breaking out somewhere. David James Elliott
