You furnish the pictures, and I’ll furnish the war. 

Don’t talk to me about naval tradition. It’s nothing but rum, sodomy, and the lash.

Soldiers in peace are like chimneys in summer.

War to the castles; peace to the cottages.

Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.

I have loved war too well.

As peace is of all goodness, so war is an emblem, a hieroglyphic, of all misery.

You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you.

The fear of war is worse than war itself.

I detest war. It spoils armies.

Sometime they’ll give a war and nobody will come.

War is sweet to those who don’t know it.

War is the child of pride, and pride the daughter of riches.
