Loud peace propaganda makes war seem imminent.

There is peace more destructive of the manhood of living man than war is destructive of his material body.

War is not the only arena where peace is done to death.

War is a way of shattering to pieces... materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable and... too intelligent.

The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war.

Getting emotional about things is a peacetime luxury. In wartime, it's much too painful.

The limitation upon this mode of promoting peace lies in the fact that it consists in an appeal to the civilized side of man, while war is the product of forces proceeding from man's original savage nature.

I was surrounded by nature and trying to come to terms with this blissful nature versus the inhumane mentality of war. People were being deluded by someone using the word peace.

War seems to be one of the most salutary phenomena for the culture of human nature; and it is not without regret that I see it disappearing more and more from the scene.
