If your government had given me a thousandth of the sum it spent to depose me, I could have won that war.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I said in my heart that, rather than have war, I would give up my country.
But I would have executed much greater things, had not government always opposed my exertions, and placed others in situations which would have suited my talents.
And on the war, I think my numbers would be a lot higher if I were out there beating the drum for this war. In fact, I don't think it, I know it. But I can't be for the war.
I have a scheme for stopping war. It's this - no nation is allowed to enter a war till they have paid for the last one.
If it were not for the war, this war would suit me down to the ground.
If I hadn't given my money away, I'd have had more than anyone else on the planet.
Once you start a war, you have to win.
I would not trade you a billion dollars for the kids I led to combat in Vietnam or in fact any of the Marines that I served with for a quarter of a century.
I would die for my country but I could never let my country die for me.
I had more money than I could spend in million lifetimes.
