It is true we have won all our wars, but we have paid for them. We don't want victories anymore.

In the euphoria after the Cold War, there was a misplaced notion that the UN could solve every problem anywhere.

Fight the power that be. Fight the power.

If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.

The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home.

Of all the enemies of public liberty, war is perhaps the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other.

To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace.

In war, events of importance are the result of trivial causes.

There are only two forces in the world, the sword and the spirit. In the long run the sword will always be conquered by the spirit.

You must not fight too often with one enemy, or you will teach him all your art of war.

History shows that there are no invincible armies.

Demoralize the enemy from within by surprise, terror, sabotage, assassination. This is the war of the future.

Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind.

For to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.

Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.

The general who wins the battle makes many calculations in his temple before the battle is fought. The general who loses makes but few calculations beforehand.

Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.

The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.

If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles.

Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.

All warfare is based on deception.
