They have money for war but can't feed the poor.

Some people did not like this ceremonious style. But after all when you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite.

My hope is that the generous instincts of unity will not depart from us...[so that we] become the prey of the little folk who exist in every country and who frolic alongside the Juggernaut car of war to see what fun or notoriety they can extract from the proceedings.

There is no merit in putting off a war for a year if, when it comes, it is far worse or much harder to win.

Ah, horrible war, amazing medley of the glorious and the squalid, the pitiful and the sublime, if modern men of light and leading saw your face closer, simple folk would see it hardly ever.

No one can guarantee success in war but only deserve it.
