To defeat the aggressors is not enough to make peace durable. The main thing is to discard the ideology that generates war.

In the practical art of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemy's country whole and intact; to shatter and destroy it is not so good.

Thus, what is of supreme importance in war is to attack the enemy's strategy.

There is hardly such a thing as a war in which it makes no difference who wins. Nearly always one side stands more or less for progress, the other side more or less for reaction.

It is wrong to make anyone into an enemy; it is wrong to scare the people of one's own country with that enemy and try to rally some allies on that basis.

The real peril of war lies not in military defeat. It lies in war itself, whether we win or lose.

Any time the Western way of war can be unleashed on an enemy stupid enough to enter its arena, victory is assured.

I always felt that if countries knew each other better, there would be less war. Often, conflict goes with demonizing other countries and cultures.

We are fully aware that, in a world at war, each set of belligerents is over ready to regard those who are not with them as against them; but the course we have followed is a just course.
