"Hobbes clearly proves, that every creature
Lives in a state of war by nature."
Jonathan Swift (1667-1745)
"Though this man and me hath all this war been
wrought, and death of the most noblest knights of
the world; for through our love that we have loved
together is my most noble lord slain."
Sir Thomas Malory (d.1471)
"All whom war, dearth, age, agues, tyrannies,
Despair, law, chance, hath slain."
John Donne (1571-1631)
"Beautiful that war and all its deeds of carnage must in
time be utterly lost,
That the hands of the sisters of Death and Night
incessantly softly wash again, and ever again, this
soil'd world;
For my enemy is dead, a man as divine as myself is
dead,
I look where he lies white-faced and still in the
coffin - I draw near,
Bend down and touch lightly with my lips the white
face in the coffin."
Walt Whitman (1819-1892)
"The blood red blossom of war with a heart of fire."
Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809-1892)
"The U.S. has broken the second rule of war. That is,
don't go fighting with your land army on the mainland
of Asia. Rule One is don't march on Moscow. I developed
these two rules myself."
Field-Marshal Montgomery (1887-1976)
"Against the beautiful and the clever and the
successful, one can wage a pitiless war, but not
against the unattractive."
Graham Greene (1904 - ?)
"The first casualty when war comes is truth."
Hiram Johnson (1866-1945)
"Pibroch of Donuil Dhu,
Pibroch of Donuil,
Wake thy wild voice anew,
Summon Clan-Conuil.
Come away, come away,
Hark to the summons!
Come in your war array,
Gentles and commons."
Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832)
"The high contracting parties solemnly declare in the
names of their respective peoples that they condemn
recourse to war for the solution of international
controversies, and renounce it as an instrument of
national policy in their relations with one another. The
high contracting parties agree that the settlement or
solution of all disputes or conflicts of whatever nature
or of whatever origin they may be, which may rise
among them, shall never be sought except by pacific
means."
Frank B. Kellogg (1856-1937)
Paris, 1928
"During the time men live without a common power to
keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which
is called war; and such a war as is of every man
against every man... the nature of war consisteth not in
actual fighting, but in the known disposition thereto
during all the time there is no assurance to the
contrary."
Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679)
"All delays are dangerous in war."
John Dryden (1631-1700)
