We all say no to war, we are all for justice and peace. But sometimes in order to maintain peace, armed action is necessary. But we hope it won't be the case.

There are only two cases in which war is just: first, in order to resist the aggression of an enemy, and second, in order to help an ally who has been attacked.

War is not, in itself, a condition so much as the symptom of a condition - that of international anarchy.

A war can perhaps be won single-handedly. But peace - lasting peace - cannot be secured without the support of all.

War is evitable if conditions are such that the costs of making war are higher than the benefits.

The thing is that war is the opposite of negotiation. It's when you cannot negotiate, when you cannot talk, when you cannot reach agreements that then you have war.

There is no avoiding war; it can only be postponed to the advantage of others.

War is a fundamental aspect of human existence. It's good to know what war entails and what the human sacrifice is.

Lightly armed nations can move toward war just as easily as those which are armed to the teeth, and they will do so if the usual causes of war are not removed.
