The wars fanned the wings of science, and science brought to mankind a thousand blessings, a thousand problems and a thousand perils.

The wars of people will be more terrible than those of kings.

Wars are not won by evacuations.

War is never a lasting solution for any problem.

This truth may be unfashionable, unpalatable, no doubt unpopular, but, if it is the truth, the story of mankind shows that war was universal and unceasing for millions of years before armaments were invented or armies organized. Indeed, the lucid intervals of peace and order only occurred in human history after armaments in the hands of strong governments have come into being, and civilization in every age has been nursed only in cradles guarded by superior weapons and superior discipline.

In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.
