I have known war as few men now living know it. It's very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a means of settling international disputes.

I know war as few other men now living know it, and nothing to me is more revolting. I have long advocated its complete abolition, as its very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a method of settling international disputes.

We know but a few men, a great many coats and breeches.

In life we shall find many men that are great, and some that are good, but very few men that are both great and good.

Talk is over-rated as a means of settling disputes.

Some men never feel small, but these are the few men who are.
