SOME FAMOUS QUOTES ON WARS
Wars are not new. They have been
there since the creation of the world. The difference is in their weapons and
horrors. In the beginning, there were either no weapons or they were as simple
as sticks and stones. Today there are various types of destructive weapons and
bombs including nuclear and hydrogen bombs.
The means of transportation and
communication have also become awfully fast. Now the parties engaged in wars can
have videos of all the actions taking place.
Personally, I believe in the permanent abolition of war and the
non-manufacturing of all sorts of destructive weapons.
Wars should be declared not only punishable
crimes but also unpardonable sins.
Given below are some famous war quotes.
1.
If
war has its chivalry and its pageantry, it has also its hideousness and its
demoniac woe. Bullets respect not beauty. They tear out the eye, and shatter
the jaw, and rend the cheek. ---American clergy J .S. C. Abbott.
2.
War
is the business of barbarians. ---Former Emperor of France Napoleon Bonaparte.
3.
War
is nothing less than a temporary repeal of the principles of virtue.---English
clergy Robert Hall.
4.
War
comes today as the result of one of three causes: either actual or threatened
wrong by one country to another. Or suspicion by one country that another
intends to do it wrong, or from bitterness of feeling. ----American lawyer
Elihu Root.
5.
Only
the dead have seen the end of war. Greek philosopher Plato.
6.
I
hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its
brutality, its futility, its stupidity. ---Former American President Dwight D.
Eisenhower.
7.
War
is a defeat for humanity.---Pope John Paul II.
8.
Older
men declare war. But it is youth that must fight and die. ---Herbert Hoover, 31st
President of United States.
9.
Militarism
and warfare are childish things if they are not more horrible than anything
childish can be. They must become things of the past.----English novelist and
historian H. G. Wells.
10.
As long as war is regarded as wicked it will
always have its fascinations. When it is looked upon as vulgar, it will cease
to be popular.----English writer Oscar Wilde.
