The Sad Truth About Wars

War is the science of destruction. War is hell. It settles nothing. People do not want war. War springs from causes wholly outside the lives, interests, and feelings of the people. Unfortunately, so long as there are men there will be wars.

War will make corpses of us all. Even a successful war is a loss to most families. In war, there are no unwounded soldiers, and only the dead have seen the end of war.

What happened in World War II was what happened in war generally, and that was whatever the initiating cause, and however clear the moral reason is for the war in which one side looks better than the other, by the time the war ends both sides have been engaged in evil. - Howard Zinn

There is nothing that war has ever achieved that we could not better achieve without it. - Henry Havelock Ellis

Older men declare war. But it is youth that must fight and die. - Herbert Clark Hoover

There has never been a protracted war from which a country has benefited. - Sun Tzu

Men who fight wars in winter don’t live till spring. - Ursula K. Le Guin

War is not the continuation of politics with different means, it is the greatest mass-crime perpetrated on the community of man. - Alfred Adler

Since war begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed. - Unknown

The war does not end when you come home. It lives on in memories of your fellow soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who gave their lives. It endures in the wound that is slow to heal, the disability that isn't going away, the dream that wakes you at night, or the stiffening in your spine when a car backfires down the street. - Barack Obama
