3 December 2020 Eleanor Roosevelt Anyone who thinks must think of the next war as they would of suicide.
3 December 2020 Harry Browne World War II has always been of great interest to me. I’ve known for decades that it was just one more war the politicians suckered us into.
3 December 2020 Thom Yorke My songs are my kids. Some of them stay with me, some others I have to send out, out to the war. It might sound stupid and it might even sound naive, but that’s just the way it is.
3 December 2020 Douglas William Jerrold There is peace more destructive of the manhood of living man than war is destructive of his material body.
3 December 2020 Thor Heyerdahl Circumstances cause us to act the way we do. We should always bear this in mind before judging the actions of others. I realized this from the start during World War II.
3 December 2020 Winston Churchill War is a game that is played with a smile. If you can’t smile, grin. If you can’t grin, keep out of the way till you can.
3 December 2020 Napoleon Hill War grows out of the desire of the individual to gain advantage at the expense of his fellow man.
3 December 2020 Will Rogers I have a scheme for stopping war. It’s this – no nation is allowed to enter a war till they have paid for the last one.
3 December 2020 David Friedman The direct use of force is such a poor solution to any problem, it is generally employed only by small children and large nations.
3 December 2020 Allan Massie Do you know what a soldier is, young man? He’s the chap who makes it possible for civilised folk to despise war.
3 December 2020 Diane Kruger I get offered a World War II movie at least once a week just because I speak German and was born there. I have always stayed away from it because I didn’t want to be put into that box.
3 December 2020 Michael Haneke And if there was one title that could be applied to all my films, it would be ‘Civil War’ – not civil war in the way we know it, but the daily war that goes on between us all.
3 December 2020 James P. Hoffa We’ve got to keep an eye on the battle that we face – a war on workers. And you see it everywhere. It is the Tea Party. And there’s only one way to beat and win that war – the one thing about working people is, we like a good fight.
3 December 2020 Isabel Allende In times of conflict, war, poverty or religious fundamentalism, women and children are the first and most numerous victims. Women need all their courage today.
3 December 2020 George McGovern It is not patriotic to commit young Americans to war unless our national security clearly requires it.
3 December 2020 Ernest Hemingway The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.
3 December 2020 Henry A. Kissinger The Vietnam War required us to emphasize the national interest rather than abstract principles. What President Nixon and I tried to do was unnatural. And that is why we didn’t make it.

3 December 2020 Lawrence Eagleburger One nuclear war is going to be the last nuclear – the last war, frankly, if it really gets out of hand. And I just don’t think we ought to be prepared to accept that sort of thing.
3 December 2020 Gavin DeGraw When my grandfather died, I started adopting some of his accents, to sort of remind myself of him. A homage. He was a war hero, and he was really great with his hands.
