We prefer war in all cases to tribute under any form and to any people whatever

I have seen enough of one war never to wish to see another

If ever there was a holy war, it was that which saved our liberties and gave us independence

War is an instrument entirely inefficient toward redressing wrong; and multiplies, instead of indemnifying losses.

The most successful war seldom pays for its losses.

I abhor war and view it as the greatest scourge of mankind.
