War should be the only study of a prince. He should consider peace only as a breathing-time, which gives him leisure to contrive, and furnishes as ability to execute, military plans.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The world will never have lasting peace so long as men reserve for war the finest human qualities. Peace, no less than war, requires idealism and self-sacrifice and a righteous and dynamic faith.
Peace demands the most heroic labor and the most difficult sacrifice. It demands greater heroism than war. It demands greater fidelity to the truth and a much more perfect purity of conscience.
There is peace more destructive of the manhood of living man than war is destructive of his material body.
I think it would be nice to be a prince.
A prince should be slow to punish, and quick to reward.
Ye may have a greater prince, but ye shall never have a more loving prince.
He is happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home.
There's no nobility with war. It's tear-'em-up destruction that leaves you frustrated, bitter and angry... If you really knew what it was like for an hour, you wouldn't want anyone to go through it.
There are laws for peace as well as war.
Peace is not an absence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice.
