“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.” ― Dwight D. Eisenhower “People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.” ― George Orwell “Given the same amount of intelligence, timidity will do a thousand times more damage than audacity” – Carl von Clausewitz “Fools say that they learn by experience. I prefer to profit by others experience” – Otto Von Bismarck “One minute can decide the outcome of the battle, one hour – the outcome of the campaign, and one day – the fate of the country.” – Russian Field Marshal Prince Aleksandr Vasilyevich Suvorov “The barbarous custom of having men beaten who are suspected of having important secrets to reveal must be abolished. It has always been recognized that this way of interrogating men, by putting them to torture, produces nothing worthwhile.” – Napoleon Bonaparte “It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.” – Julius Caesar.
