I see no reason why this war must go on

How to achieve the moral breakdown of the enemy before the war has started -- that is the problem that interests me. Whoever has experienced war at the front will want to refrain from all avoidable bloodshed.

Generals think war should be waged like the tourneys of the Middle Ages. I have no use for knights; I need revolutionaries.

If you win, you need not have to explain...If you lose, you should not be there to explain!

I use emotion for the many and reserve reason for the few

Their sword will become our plow, and from the tears of war the daily bread of future generations will grow
