Quotations

I think the slain care little if they sleep or rise again.

A people's voice is dangerous when charged with wrath.

In war, truth is the first casualty.

War, as the saying goes, is full of false alarms

We make war so that we may live in peace

The wise man speaks because he has something to say, the fool because he has to say something

The sinews of war are infinite money.

Armed forces abroad are of little value unless there is prudent counsel at home.

Silent enim leges inter arma (Laws are silent in times of war).

Courage may be taught as a child is taught to speak.
