Unconditional war can no longer lead to unconditional victory. It can no longer serve to settle disputes... can no longer be of concern to great powers alone.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A war can perhaps be won single-handedly. But peace - lasting peace - cannot be secured without the support of all.
True, permanent peace can never be restored, until slavery, the occasion of the war, has ceased.
No war is inevitable until it breaks out.
I venture to say no war can be long carried on against the will of the people.
In war there is no substitute for victory.
If this phrase of the 'balance of power' is to be always an argument for war, the pretext for war will never be wanting, and peace can never be secure.
Unless both sides win, no agreement can be permanent.
If few can stand a long war without deterioration of soul, none can stand a long peace.
There was never a good war, or a bad peace.
War is just when it is necessary; arms are permissible when there is no hope except in arms.
