You can be killed just as dead in an unjustified war as you can in one protecting your own home.

There are two things that can disrupt the American economy. One is a war. The other is a meeting of The Federal Reserve Board.

In war you can be killed only once. In politics, many times.

I have always said that a conference was held for one reason only, to give everybody chance to get sore at everybody else. Sometimes it takes two or three conferences to scare up a war, but generally one will do it.

Diplomats are just as essential in starting a war as soldiers are in finishing it.

I have a scheme for stopping war. It's this -- no nation is allowed to enter a war till they have paid for the last one.
