In marriage, as in war, it is permitted to take every advantage of the enemy.
War is what happens when language fails.
War will disappear only when men shall take no part whatever in violence and shall be ready to suffer every persecution that their abstention will bring them. It is the only way to abolish war.
The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.
We cannot have peace if we are only concerned with peace. War is not an accident. It is the logical outcome of a certain way of life. If we want to attack war, we have to attack that way of life.
You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war.
War is just when it is necessary; arms are permissible when there is no hope except in arms.
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains or slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
