“Those who can win a war well can rarely make a good peace and those who could make a good peace would never have won the war.”
“Those who are at war with others are not at peace with themselves.”
“Those who love peace must learn to organize as effectively as those who love war.”
“There was never a bad peace or a good war.”
“There never was a good war or a bad peace.”
“You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will. War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it; and those who brought war into our country deserve all the curses and maledictions a people can pour out. I know I had no hand in making this war, and I know I will make more sacrifices to-day than any of you to secure peace.”
