In any war, the first casualty is common sense, and the second is free and open discussion

All politics are based on the indifference of the majority.

Philosophy is common sense with big words.

Military men are just dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy.

Common sense is not so common.

There can be no compromise with war; it cannot be reformed or controlled; cannot be disciplined into decency or codified into common sense.
