“My argument is that War makes rattling good history; but Peace is poor reading.”

“In war, the poor are killed. In peace, the poor dies.”

“When, when, Peace, will you, Peace? I’ll not play hypocrite
To own my heart: I yield you do come sometimes; but
That piecemeal peace is poor peace. What pure peace allows
Alarms of wars, the daunting wars, the death of it?”

“Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.”

“I took a speed reading course and read 'War and Peace' in twenty minutes. It involves Russia.”

“There never was a good war or a bad peace.”

“The future's cloudy and it's rainin on the poor class.
Road to peace is closed, heavy traffic on the war paths”

“My reading of history has shown me that simply 'being a good man' is not enough. That there are many kings who are good men and yet bad kings. And even good kings sometimes make disastrous decisions. So government is complex, politics is complex.”

“When the rich make war, it's the poor that die.”

“It is easier to make war than make peace.”
