War is a series of disasters which result in a winner

It is far easier to make war than to make peace

I don't know whether war is an interlude during peace, or peace is an interlude during war

War is too serious a matter to entrust to military men

I don't know whether war is an interlude during peace, or peace is an interlude during war.

What quarrel, what harshness, what unbelief in each other can subsist in the presence of a great calamity, when all the artificial vesture of our life is gone, and we are all one with each other in primitive mortal needs?
