Quotations about war.

One is left with the horrible feeling
now that war settles nothing; that to
win a war is as disastrous as to lose
one.
Agatha Christie (1890 - 1976),
Autobiography (1977)

I know not with what weapons
World War III will be fought, but
World War IV will be fought with
sticks and stones.
Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)

You cannot simultaneously
prevent and prepare for war.
Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955),

War is much too serious a matter
to be entrusted to the military.
Georges Clemenceau (1841 - 1929)

You can no more win a war than
you can win an earthquake.
Jeannette Rankin (1880 - 1973)

War may sometimes be a necessary
evil. But no matter how necessary,
it is always an evil, never a good. We
will not learn how to live together in
peace by killing each other's children.
Jimmy Carter (1924 - )

Never, never, never believe any war
will be smooth and easy, or that
anyone who embarks on the strange
voyage can measure the tides and
hurricanes he will encounter.
The statesman who yields to war fever
must realize that once the signal is
given, he is no longer the master of
policy but the slave of unforeseeable
and uncontrollable events.
Sir Winston Churchhill

Confucius

Quotes from Confucius

Before you embark on a journey
of revenge, dig two graves.

Everything has its beauty but not
everyone sees it.

Forget injuries, never forget
kindnesses.

He who will not economize will
have to agonize.

I hear and I forget. I see and I
remember. I do and I understand.

It does not matter how slowly you
go so long as you do not stop.

Men's natures are alike, it is
their habits that carry them far apart.

Respect yourself and others
will respect you.

To see what is right, and not to
do it, is want of courage or of principle.

When anger rises, think of the
consequences.

Wheresoever you go, go with all
your heart.

By nature, men are nearly alike;
by practice, they get to be wide apart.

Quotes from Douglas Adams

Quotes from:

Douglas Adams (1952 - 2001) English
humorist & science fiction novelist

In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry
and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

It is a mistake to think you can solve
any major problems just with potatoes.

There is a theory which states that if ever
anybody discovers exactly what the Universe
is for and why it is here, it will instantly
disappear and be replaced by something
even more bizarre and inexplicable. There
is another theory which states that this has
already happened.

Human beings, who are almost unique in
having the ability to learn from the experience
of others, are also remarkable for their
apparent disinclination to do so.

Anyone who is capable of getting themselves
made President should on no account be
allowed to do the job.

Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly,
hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you
may think it's a long way down the road to the
chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.
