Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die.
Herbert HooverThe world is never quiet, even its silence eternally resounds with the same notes, in vibrations which escape our ears. As for those that we perceive, they carry sounds to us, occasionally a chord, never a melody.
Albert CamusAll the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.
George OrwellOne may say the eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility.
Albert EinsteinThere is nothing insignificant in the world. It all depends on the point of view.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheFree nations are peaceful nations. Free nations don’t attack each other. Free nations don’t develop weapons of mass destruction.
George W. BushMy favorite time in the cycles of public life is the time when the Pope is dead and they haven’t elected a new one. There’s no one in the world who is infallible for those weeks. And you know, I don’t miss it.
Christopher HitchensThe British soldier can stand up to anything except the British War Office.
George Bernard ShawWe often represent God to ourselves as being able to draw from non-being a world without sorrows, faults, dangers – a world in which there is no damage, no breakage. This is a conceptual fantasy and makes it impossible to solve the problem of evil.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinAll the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.
Helen KellerI venture to say no war can be long carried on against the will of the people.
Edmund BurkeBut I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
Jesus ChristThough we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.
Ralph Waldo EmersonI expected to die. At no time before the trial did I expect to escape with my life. Yet being executed in the gas chamber did not necessarily mean defeat. It could be one more step to bring the community to a higher level of consciousness.
Huey NewtonThe pursuit of science leads only to the insoluble.
Benjamin DisraeliIf a victory is told in detail, one can no longer distinguish it from a defeat.
Jean-Paul SartreSome have argued that confronting the threat from Iraq could detract from the war against terror. To the contrary, confronting the threat posed by Iraq is crucial to winning the war on terror.
George W. BushAmerica is never wholly herself unless she is engaged in high moral principle. We as a people have such a purpose today. It is to make kinder the face of the nation and gentler the face of the world.
George H. W. BushWhen people speak to you about a preventive war, you tell them to go and fight it. After my experience, I have come to hate war.
Dwight D. EisenhowerVictory has a thousand fathers, but defeat is an orphan.
John F. KennedyI remember at the age of five travelling on a trolley car with my mother past a group of women on a picket line at a textile plant, seeing them being viciously beaten by security people. So that kind of thing stayed with me.
Noam ChomskyI feel that there are a few things in the world without cultural barriers.
Jackie ChanHere’s what I believe, I think the FBI is the premier law enforcement agency in the history of the world but i think there was some bad apples over there.
John KennedyAl Qaeda is still a threat. We cannot pretend somehow that because Barack Hussein Obama got elected as president, suddenly everything is going to be OK.
Barack ObamaI don’t want everybody to see exactly where I live, what my sofa or my fireplace looks like.
Marilyn MonroeOnly enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.
Stephen KingOf all the enemies of public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other.
James MadisonI saw what happened when a dictator was allowed to take over a piece of a country and the country went down the tubes. And I saw the opposite during the war when America joined the fight.
Madeleine AlbrightEach nation feels superior to other nations. That breeds patriotism – and wars.
Dale CarnegieThat is what fame is, isn’t it? To get the world to fall in love with you.
Lady GagaWe’re close friends – the American people, the Israeli people, our governments. There’s absolutely no daylight – none – between us and the Israelis on the question of Israel’s security.
Joe BidenMiracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.
C. S. LewisThe Middle East is obviously an issue that has plagued the region for centuries.
Barack ObamaThere’s hope for everyone. That’s what makes the world go round.
Paul AusterIt is an unfortunate fact that we can secure peace only by preparing for war.
John F. KennedyIt is possible to provide security against other ills, but as far as death is concerned, we men live in a city without walls.
EpicurusThe Islamists will try to spoil everything for everyone.
Christopher HitchensMusic is one of the most powerful things the world has to offer. No matter what race or religion or nationality or sexual orientation or gender that you are, it has the power to unite us.
Lady GagaWorld belongs to humanity, not this leader, that leader or that king or prince or religious leader. World belongs to humanity.
Dalai LamaThere is no avoiding war; it can only be postponed to the advantage of others.
Niccolo MachiavelliWe make our friends; we make our enemies; but God makes our next door neighbour.
Gilbert K. ChestertonThis world is but a canvas to our imagination.
Henry David ThoreauIt takes a great deal of character strength to apologize quickly out of one’s heart rather than out of pity. A person must possess himself and have a deep sense of security in fundamental principles and values in order to genuinely apologize.
Stephen CoveyWar is regarded as nothing but the continuation of state policy with other means.
Carl von ClausewitzThe world is a fine place and worth the fighting for and I hate very much to leave it.
Ernest HemingwayCommon looking people are the best in the world: that is the reason the Lord makes so many of them.
Abraham LincolnI knew I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else.
Marilyn MonroeIf anyone is crazy enough to want to kill a president of the United States, he can do it. All he must be prepared to do is give his life for the president’s.
John F. KennedyAs a matter of self-preservation, a man needs good friends or ardent enemies, for the former instruct him and the latter take him to task.
DiogenesHe that’s secure is not safe.
Benjamin FranklinThe world is too violent right now.
Jackie ChanYou can’t say civilization don’t advance… in every war they kill you in a new way.
Will RogersIn this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.
Benjamin FranklinThe limitation of riots, moral questions aside, is that they cannot win and their participants know it. Hence, rioting is not revolutionary but reactionary because it invites defeat. It involves an emotional catharsis, but it must be followed by a sense of futility.
Martin Luther King, Jr.The view of Jerusalem is the history of the world; it is more, it is the history of earth and of heaven.
Benjamin DisraeliFreedom conceives that the mind and spirit of man can be free only if he be free to pattern his own life, to develop his own talents, free to earn, to spend, to save, to acquire property as the security of his old age and his family.
Herbert HooverThe world is a republic of mediocrities, and always was.
Thomas CarlyleThe more you seek security, the less of it you have. But the more you seek opportunity, the more likely it is that you will achieve the security that you desire.
Brian TracyA friend is nothing but a known enemy.
Kurt CobainI am afraid we must make the world honest before we can honestly say to our children that honesty is the best policy.
George Bernard Shaw
