When you see contention amongst your enemies, go and sit at ease with your friends; but when you see them of one mind, string your bow, and place stones upon the ramparts. ~ Saadi
Medieval War quotes by Saadi
It is a joyous thing, war. You love your comrade so much in war. When you see that your quarrel is just, and your blood is fighting well, tears rise to your eyes. A great sweet feeling of loyalty and of pity fills your heart on seeing your friend so valiantly exposing his body. And then your are prepared to go and live or die with him, and for love not to abandon him. And out of that, there arises such a delectation, that he who has not experienced it is not fit to say what delight is. Do you think that a man who does that fears death? Not at all, for he feels so strengthened, so elated, that he does not know where he is. Truly he is afraid of nothing. ~ Jean De Bevil
Medieval War quotes by Jean De Bevil
He who wishes to be obeyed must know how to command ~ Niccolo Machiavelli
Medieval War quotes by Niccolo Machiavelli
Following the light of the sun, we left the Old World. ~ Christopher Columbus

Let those who once fought against brothers and relatives now rightfully fight against barbarians. ~ Pope Urban II
Medieval War quotes by Pope Urban II
It was so wonderful that I do not know how to describe this first glimpse of things never heard of, seen or dreamed of before ... ~ Hernando Cortes
Medieval War quotes by Hernando Cortes
The souls of emperors and cobblers are cast in the same mold. The same reason that makes us wrangle with a neighbor creates a war betwixt princes. ~ Michel De Montaigne
Medieval War quotes by Michel De Montaigne
War is the greatest plague that can afflict humanity, it destroys religion, it destroys states, it destroys families. Any scourge is preferable to it. ~ Martin Luther
Medieval War quotes by Martin Luther
Let the boy win his spurs. ~ Edward III Of England
Medieval War quotes by Edward III Of England
Put an end to so great an evil and arrive at a peace settlement whatever the outcome, and whatever the conditions. ~ William Of Tyre
Medieval War quotes by William Of Tyre
In order for a war to be just, three things are necessary. First, the authority of the sovereign. Secondly, a just cause. Thirdly, a rightful intention. ~ Thomas Aquinas
Medieval War quotes by Thomas Aquinas
Do you know, my son, with what little understanding the world is ruled? ~ Pope Julius III
Medieval War quotes by Pope Julius III
Take up the weapons of the glorious army for the salvation of many thousands. ~ Adela Of Normandy
Medieval War quotes by Adela Of Normandy
So loud was the wailing of the women and children that there was not one man among us whose heart did not bleed at the sound ... ~ Hernando Cortes
Medieval War quotes by Hernando Cortes
Peace hath her victories, no less renowned than war. ~ John Milton
Medieval War quotes by John Milton
Come the three corners of the world in arms, and we shall shock them. ~ William Shakespeare
Medieval War quotes by William Shakespeare
The strength of God will enable us, a small but faithful band, to overcome the multitude of the faithless. ~ Robert Guiscard
Medieval War quotes by Robert Guiscard
One should never risk one's whole fortune unless supported by one's entire forces. ~ Niccolo Machiavelli
Medieval War quotes by Niccolo Machiavelli
Though I like the various forms of football in the world, I don't think they begin to compare with these two great Anglo-Saxon ball games for sophisticated elegance and symbolism. Baseball and cricket are beautiful and highly stylized medieval war substitutes, chess made flesh, a mixture of proud chivalry and base - in both senses - greed. With football we are back to the monotonous clashing armor of the brontosaurus. ~ John Fowles
Medieval War quotes by John Fowles
Upon his royal face there is no note how dread an army hath enrounded him. ~ William Shakespeare
Medieval War quotes by William Shakespeare
He who knows not how to dissimulate, can not reign. ~ Louis XI Of France
Medieval War quotes by Louis XI Of France
Nothing good ever comes of violence. ~ Martin Luther
Medieval War quotes by Martin Luther
I will kill thee a hundred and fifty ways. ~ William Shakespeare
Medieval War quotes by William Shakespeare
A safe stronghold our God is still. A trusty shield and weapon. ~ Martin Luther
Medieval War quotes by Martin Luther
Strike up the drum and march courageously. ~ Christopher Marlowe
Medieval War quotes by Christopher Marlowe
Created by wars that required it, the machine now created the wars it required. ~ Joseph Alois Schumpeter
Medieval War quotes by Joseph Alois Schumpeter
We don't even know how strong we are until we are forced to bring that hidden strength forward. In times of tragedy, of war, of necessity, people do amazing things. The human capacity for survival and renewal is awesome. ~ Isabel Allende
Medieval War quotes by Isabel Allende
There is something sinister about putting a leprechaun in a workhouse. The only solid comfort is that he certainly will not work. ~ G.K. Chesterton
Medieval War quotes by G.K. Chesterton
What I call stupidity is not only lack of knowledge, although much of humanity could be elevated from poverty, dogma, illusions and war through traditional education. A thriving education system is the foundation for progress. But stupidity is not merely ignorance; it can also be a way of acting. If you act contrary to your own goals in life – you're stupid. ~ Gudjon Bergmann
Medieval War quotes by Gudjon Bergmann
Now put your shields before your hearts and fight / With hearts more proof than shields. Advance, my fellows! ~ William Shakespeare
Medieval War quotes by William Shakespeare
Never get involved in a land war in Asia. Never fight a battle of wits when iocane powder is involved. And never, never, never, never, never, never, never let the New Republic's editors choose the headline for your article. ~ Brad De Long
Medieval War quotes by Brad De Long
As we flew inland from the coast at about 1,200 feet I looked down to see a strange countryside. What I saw wasn't just a western European landscape, but ravaged terrain. The vegetation cover was so sparse a looked a somewhat burgundy tinge- mud oozing from the turf. I'd never seen anything lke it. It was quite surreal. For a few miles along the flight path and stretching towards the French coast on the Channel, as far as the eye could see, were hundreds of thousands of crater rings. There were so many it appeared almost incomprehensible. Yet, there they were, sullen on the surface of this ravaged landscape. We had heard of no heavy artillery attacks in this area, certainly nothing of this concentration of fury. Then it dawned on us quietly that we were flying over the World War 1 battlefields. It was a sobering sight, which filled us with melancholy for the suffering which must have gone on down there. Yet here we were 26 years after that last war ended, going to fight the same enemy. It took some time to come back to reality."

Sergeant Dan Hartigan, 1st Canadian Parachute Regiment ~ Max Arthur
Medieval War quotes by Max Arthur
What is it with Dictators and Writers, anyway? Since before the infamous Caesar-Ovid war they've had beef. Like the Fantastic Four and Galactus, like the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, like the Teen Titans and Deathstroke, Foreman and Ali, Morrison and Crouch, Sammy and Sergio, they seemed destined to be eternally linked in the Halls of Battle. Rushdie claims that tyrants and scribblers are natural antagonists, but I think that's too simple; it lets writers off pretty easy. Dictators, in my opinion, just know competition when they see it. Same with writers. Like, after all, recognizes like. ~ Junot Diaz
Medieval War quotes by Junot Diaz
Personally I believe that the courses we followed for some years after World War II were enlightened, surprisingly imaginative and extremely effective. ~ David K. E. Bruce
Medieval War quotes by David K. E. Bruce
The anti-war movement should turn itself into a pro-democracy movement ~ Naomi Klein
Medieval War quotes by Naomi Klein
It was probably not an appropriate term, but we support the war effort and believe we should be supporting our troops and our allies and be there with them doing everything necessary to win. ~ Stephen Harper
Medieval War quotes by Stephen Harper
Should an anthropologist or a sociologist be looking for a bizarre society to study, I would suggest he come to Ulster. It is one of Europe's oddest countries. Here, in the middle of the twentieth century, with modern technology transforming everybody's lives, you find a medieval mentality that is being dragged painfully into the eighteenth century by some forward-looking people. ~ Bernadette Devlin
Medieval War quotes by Bernadette Devlin
If I could order any drink I wanted now, it would be a Sweet Rob Roy on the Rocks, a Manhattan made with Scotch. That was another drink a woman introduced me to, and it made me laugh instead of cry, and fall in love with the woman who said to try one. That was in Manila, after the excrement hit the air-conditioning in Saigon. She was Harriet Gummer, the war correspondent from Iowa. She had a son by me without telling me. His name? Rob Roy. ~ Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
Medieval War quotes by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
The milestone of 100 episodes is a reflection of the amazing work and dedication of the entire Clone Wars cast and crew. Being a part of this production has been an honor and privilege that has changed my life forever. ~ Ashley Eckstein
Medieval War quotes by Ashley Eckstein
The benefit of writing a collection - as opposed to a novel - is that I'm able to have some version of the war in each story without having to comment on its all-encompassing nature. Turn the page and here are new characters and new situations, but the war remains ... Isn't that how life has been for us for over a decade? ~ Said Sayrafiezadeh
Medieval War quotes by Said Sayrafiezadeh
Hitler derived several things from his experience and achievements in World War I, without which his rise to power in 1933 would have been at the least problematical, and at the most inconceivable. Hitler survived the war as a combat soldier - a rifle carrier - in a frontline infantry regiment. The achievement was an extraordinary one based on some combination of near-miraculous luck and combat skill. The interpretive fussing over whether or not Hitler was a combat soldier because he spent most of the war in the part of the regiment described as regimental headquarters can be laid to rest as follows: Any soldier in an infantry regiment on an active front in the west in World War I must be considered to have been a combat soldier. Hitler's authorized regimental weapon was the Mauser boltaction, magazine-fed rifle. This gives a basic idea of what Hitler could be called upon to do in his assignment at the front. As a regimental runner, he carried messages to the battalions and line companies of the regiment, and the more important ones had to be delivered under outrageously dangerous circumstances involving movement through artillery fire and, particularly later in the war, poison gas and the omnipresent rifle fire of the skilled British sniper detachments.
--Hitler: Beyond Evil and Tyranny, p. 96 ~ Russel H.S. Stolfi
Medieval War quotes by Russel H.S. Stolfi
In War: Resolution,
In Defeat: Defiance,
In Victory: Magnanimity
In Peace: Good Will. ~ Winston S. Churchill
Medieval War quotes by Winston S. Churchill
Make no mistake about it: Operation Desert Storm truly was a victory of good over evil, of freedom over tyranny, of peace over war. ~ Dan Quayle
Medieval War quotes by Dan Quayle
The Continental army got more generals than they got private soldiers, these days. An officer lives through more 'n two battles, they make him some kind of general on the spot. Now, gettin' any pay for it, that's a different kettle of fish. ~ Diana Gabaldon
Medieval War quotes by Diana Gabaldon
Unlike the huge majority of the current generation in the West, the men on both sides at Dien Bien Phu did not live at a time or in places where they enjoyed the luxury of disregarding [that war is what human beings do]; and we, who are lifelong civilians, have not earned the right to sit in judgement over them. ~ Martin Windrow
Medieval War quotes by Martin Windrow
But the heart weakens without democracy, and there was no democracy within the Tigers. They antagonized their own brothers by killing them. ~ Samanth Subramanian
Medieval War quotes by Samanth Subramanian
There was a time when liberalism was identified with anti-Communism. But the Vietnam War led liberals into the arms of the Left, which had been morally confused about Communism since its inception and had become essentially pacifist following the carnage of World War I. ~ Dennis Prager
Medieval War quotes by Dennis Prager
There is so much that must be done in a civilized barbarism like war. ~ Amelia Earhart
Medieval War quotes by Amelia Earhart
The truth is that neither British nor American imperialism was or is idealistic. It has always been driven by economic or strategic interests. ~ Charley Reese
Medieval War quotes by Charley Reese
My brother need not be idealized or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life, to be remembered as a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it. ~ Edward Kennedy
Medieval War quotes by Edward Kennedy
Heloise long ago reconciled herself to the idea that all is fair in love and war, which is just another way of saying that nothing in life is ever fair, because life is love and war. ~ Laura Lippman
Medieval War quotes by Laura Lippman
A battle is a terrible conjugation of the verb to kill: I kill, thou killest, he kills, we kill, they kill, all kill. ~ Thomas Carlyle
Medieval War quotes by Thomas Carlyle
Oh, I suppose they're not exactly gone, those green boys. It's rather like a sapling turning into a tree. Can't scrape off the bark, and whittle it down until you find that sapling again, now can you? No, of course not. The sapling becomes an oak. Forever changed. The realities of that war will remain inside us through heaven or hell. Best try and face it, Ty. Running from it won't help. You'll never turn back into the innocent sapling you once were." Robert lifted his glass and grinned. "My friend, we've become a pair of gnarled old trees. ~ Kathleen Baldwin
Medieval War quotes by Kathleen Baldwin
The Americans are very patriotic, and wish to make their new citizens patriotic Americans. But it is the idea of making a new nation literally out of any old nation that comes along. In a word, what is unique is not America but what is called Americanisation. We understand nothing till we understand the amazing ambition to Americanise the Kamskatkan and the Hairy Ainu. We are not trying to Anglicise thousand of French cooks or Italian organ-grinders. France is not trying to Gallicise thousands of English trippers or German prisoners of war. America is the only place in the world where this process, healthy or unhealthy, possible or impossible, is going on. And the process, as I have pointed out, is not internationalization. It would be truer to say it is the nationalization of the internationalized. It is making a home out of vagabonds and a nation out of exiles. ~ G.K. Chesterton
Medieval War quotes by G.K. Chesterton
Indians look very puzzled, surprised and offended to be shot but they go to the wall with noble mien I must allow. You can't have nothing good in war without you punishing the guilty, the sergeant says with a savage air and no one says nothing against that. John Cole whispers to me that most times that sergeant he just wrong but just now and then he's right and he's right this time. I guess I'm thinking this is true. We get drunk then and the sergeant is clutching his belly all evening and then everything is blotted out till you awake in the bright early morning needing a piss and then it all floods back into your brain what happened and it makes your heart yelp like a dog. ~ Sebastian Barry
Medieval War quotes by Sebastian Barry
The People is a beast of muddy brain that knows not its own force, and therefore stands loaded with wood and stone. The powerless hands of a mere child guide it with bit and rein. One kick would be enough to break the chain, but the beast fears, and what the child demands it does. Nor its own terror understands, confused and stupefied by bugbears vain. Most Wonderful! With its own hand it ties and gags itself, gives itself death and war for pence doled out by kings from its own store. Its own are ALL THINGS between earth and heaven. But this it knows not. And if one arise to tell this truth, it kills him unforgiven. ~ Tomasso Campanella
Medieval War quotes by Tomasso Campanella
We are led to believe that we are in a democracy with a free press. When the evidence shows that we have neither. We're in a very serious situation. ~ Christopher Lee Bollyn
