“War yet shall be, but warriors are now operatives; war's made less grand than peace.”

“The world will never have lasting peace so long as men reserve for war the finest human qualities. Peace, no less than war, requires idealism and self-sacrifice and a righteous and dynamic faith.”

“Peace would always be less compelling than war. Perhaps that was why there was so little of it in the world. (p. 160)”

“For it can never be that war shall preserve life, and peace destroy it.”

“The professed object of war generally is to preserve liberty and produce a lasting peace: but war never did and never will preserve liberty and produce a lasting peace, for it is a divine decree that all nations who take the sword shall perish with the sword. War is no more adapted to preserve liberty and produce a lasting peace than midnight darkness is to produce noonday light.”

“The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war.”
