Whoever wants peace among nations must seek to limit the state and its influence most strictly.

If some peoples pretend that history or geography gives them the right to subjugate other races, nations, or peoples, there can be no peace.

Wars of aggression are popular nowadays with those nations convinced that only victory and conquest could improve their material well-being.

To defeat the aggressors is not enough to make peace durable. The main thing is to discard the ideology that generates war.

War... is harmful, not only to the conquered but to the conqueror.

War can really cause no economic boom, at least not directly, since an increase in wealth never does result from destruction of goods.
