“The war against war is going to be no holiday excursion or camping party.”

William James (1842–1910) American philosopher, psychologist, and pragmatist

1900s, The Moral Equivalent of War (1906)
Context: The war against war is going to be no holiday excursion or camping party. The military feelings are too deeply grounded to abdicate their place among our ideals until better substitutes are offered than the glory and shame that come to nations as well as to individuals from the ups and downs of politics and the vicissitudes of trade.

“The old Liberal party is drawing to its end. These last two elections, particularly the last, are the Mene Mene Tekel Upharsen of the Liberal banquet. The socialist does not indeed get a majority but while the two old parties are cutting each other's throats, he slips in and will continue to slip in and the encouragement to his party is great. The Liberal party will lose their industrial seats, while the Conservative party, the natural refuge in time of trouble, creams off all who will accept protection.”

Archibald Primrose, 5th Earl of Rosebery (1847–1929) British politician

Letter to Sir George Murray (27 July 1907), quoted in McKinstry, pp. 499-500.

“Those who become drunk with power and have enriched themselves unlawfully while serving, will continue the same path, while they remain in power.”
