War is an evil thing, but to submit to the dictation of other states is worse... Freedom, if we hold fast to it, will ultimately restore our losses, but submission will mean permanent loss of all that we value... To you who call yourselves men of peace, I say: You are not safe unless you have men of action on your side.
- Thucydides
Vad är, O kungar, I så stora krig om fören,
Förhärjen riken, folk, och många land förstören,
Utgjuten människors blod, begån så grymma mord?
En hand full utav stoft, en näve full av jord.
- Georg Henrik von Borneman
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature, and has no chance of being free unless made or kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
- John Stuart Mill
If you kill one man you are murderer, if you kill ten you are a monster, if you kill a hundred you are a hero, if you kill ten thousand you are a conqueror!
