If we don't end war, war will end us.

Wars without military objectives have a tendency to go on forever.

War is not its own end, except in some catastrophic slide into absolute damnation.

I saw that the war could not be prevented. The time had passed.

Moreover, war has become a thing potentially so terrible and destructive that it should have been the common aim of statesmen to put an end to it forever.

I am making this statement as an act of wilful defiance of military authority, because I believe that the War is being deliberately prolonged by those who have the power to end it.

I venture to say no war can be long carried on against the will of the people.

I don't think we should ever be at war. That's kind of naive, I suppose.

It is inhuman to continue a war which could easily be ended.
