Business is merely a form of warfare in which each combatant strives to get the business away from his competitors and at the same time keep them from getting what he already has. ~ David McCullough
Warfare quotes by David McCullough
Let it be granted, that according to the letter of the Gita it is possible to say that warfare is consistent with renunciation of fruit. But after forty years' unremitting endeavour fully to enforce the teaching of the Gita in my own life, I have in all humility felt that perfect renunciation is impossible without perfect observance of ahimsa in every shape and form. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Warfare quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Imperialistic war is a rebellion of technology which collects, in the form of "human material," the claims to which society has denied its natural material. Instead of draining rivers, society directs a human stream into a bed of trenches; instead of dropping seeds from airplanes, it drops incendiary bombs over cities; and through gas warfare the aura is abolished in a new way. ~ Walter Benjamin
Warfare quotes by Walter Benjamin
Herein lay the rub. The Americans, like all Western armies, defined "winning" as killing the enemy and securing control over the battlefield. Their opponents in previous conflicts had generally accepted the same definition. Not so the Moros. What was important to them was the struggle and how one conducted oneself, personally and as a people, not necessarily a measurable outcome. They knew from the beginning they were no match for American firepower. It was a one-sided contest, what today is termed "asymmetric warfare," but so what? Their measure was how well one did against the odds, the more overwhelmingly they were against one, the greater the glory. And being that life is transitory anyway, what mattered most was how much courage was shown and how well did one die. The Americans and the Moros were using different score cards for the same game. To the Moros, it was they who had "won. ~ Robert A. Fulton
Warfare quotes by Robert A. Fulton
In war, the moral is to the physical as ten to one. ~ Napoleon Bonaparte
Warfare quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
It is difficult for Iranian scholars and universities to retain their independence and to be seen as doing so, when cultural warfare is being carried out by some of their American partners. Indeed, such irresponsible behavior basically serves to intensify suspicion and in reality decreases the opportunity for real and meaningful dialogue. ~ Mohammad Marandi
Warfare quotes by Mohammad Marandi
The camera is one of the most frightening of modern weapons, particularly to people who have been in warfare, who have been bombed and shelled for at the back of a bombing run is invariably a photograph. In the back of ruined towns, and cities, and factories, there is aerial mapping, or spy mapping, usually with a camera. Therefore the camera is a feared instrument, and a man with a camera is suspected and watched wherever he goes ... In the minds of most people today the camera is the forerunner of destruction, and it is suspected, and rightly so. ~ John Steinbeck
Warfare quotes by John Steinbeck
The faster the motion, the less time to think. Fuselage journalism, Hugh Sidey of Time later called it. ~ David Halberstam
Warfare quotes by David Halberstam
We wish to break with all aspects of the liberal State: with its welfare and its warfare, its monopoly privileges and its egalitarianism, its repression of victimless crimes whether personal or economic. Only we offer technology without technocracy, growth without pollution, liberty without chaos, law without tyranny, the defense of property rights in one's person and in one's material possessions. ~ Murray N. Rothbard
Warfare quotes by Murray N. Rothbard
You have to disentangle the details. You have to hold up every one independently, and ask, "How do we know *this* detail?" Someone sketches out a picture of humanity's descent into nanotechnological warfare, where China refuses to abide by an international control agreement, followed by an arms race ... Wait a minute - how do you know it will be China? Is that a crystal ball in your pocket or are you just happy to be a futurist? Where are all these details coming from?
Where did *that specific* detail come from? ~ Eliezer Yudkowsky
Warfare quotes by Eliezer Yudkowsky
The genes supply the motivation for warfare, [E. O.] Wilson is saying, in humans as they do in chimps, but people, blessed with the power of language, look for some objective cause of war. A society psychs itself up to go to war by agreeing that their neighbors have wronged them, whether by seizing property or failing to deliver on some promise. Religious leaders confirm that the local deity favors their cause and off go the troops. ~ Nicholas Wade
Warfare quotes by Nicholas Wade
Battles are won, not with weapons, but with God. They are won where the way leads to the cross. ~ Megan McKenna
Warfare quotes by Megan McKenna
What reason is there in the law's prohibiting a man from "wearing woman's clothing?" Is it not that it would have us to be manly, and to be effeminate neither in person and actions, nor in thought and word ? For it would have the man, that devotes himself to the truth, to be masculine both in acts of endurance and patience, in life, conduct, word, and discipline by night and by day; even if the necessity were to occur, of witnessing by the shedding of his blood. ~ Clement Of Alexandria
Warfare quotes by Clement Of Alexandria
Many Christians ... find themselves defeated by the most psychological weapon that Satan uses against them. This weapon has the effectiveness of a deadly missile. Its name? Low self-esteem. Satan's greatest psychological weapon is a gut level feeling of inferiority, inadequacy, and low self-worth This feeling shackles many Christians, in spite of wonderful spiritual experiences and knowledge of God's Word. Although they understand their position as sons and daughters of God, they are tied up in knots, bound by a terrible feeling inferiority, and chained to a deep sense of worthlessness. ~ David A. Seamands
Warfare quotes by David A. Seamands
The last few centuries have seen the world freed from several scourges-slavery, for example; death by torture for heretics; and, most recently, smallpox. I am optimistic enough to believe that the next scourge to disappear will be large-scale warfare-killed by the existence and nonuse of nuclear weapons. ~ Luis Walter Alvarez
Warfare quotes by Luis Walter Alvarez
Enemy submarines are to be called U-Boats. The term submarine is to be reserved for Allied under water vessels. U-Boats are those dastardly villains who sink our ships, while submarines are those gallant and noble craft which sink theirs. ~ Winston S. Churchill
Warfare quotes by Winston S. Churchill
When life belittle and trick you, you will forget protocol... ~ Ikechukwu Joseph
Warfare quotes by Ikechukwu Joseph
Obviously the extremists want to provoke sectarian warfare, and I am struck by the fact that over a three-year period, leaders of the (Iraqi) communities have been quite resistant to this. The test is whether the political process continues. ~ Peter Rodman
Warfare quotes by Peter Rodman
He had conquered murder only to be faced with war. There were no laws for that. ~ T.H. White
Warfare quotes by T.H. White
The American people today are involved in a warfare more deadly than the war in Vietnam, but few of them seem aware of it and even fewer of them are doing anything about it. This is a war that is being waged against the American environment, against our lands, air, and water, which are the basis of that environment. ~ Norman Cousins
Warfare quotes by Norman Cousins
We as Christians are called to battle.
The problem is, we don't fight about the right things and we do fight about the wrong things. We aren't getting in the battle that we should and so we fight over petty, insignificant things. Why? Because we are bored. We are soldiers created for fighting against the enemy, Satan, but instead we fight against each other. ~ Lisa Bedrick
Warfare quotes by Lisa Bedrick
History lessons remind us that the states in which we live, their institutions, even their laws, have come to us through conflict, often of the most bloodthirsty sort. Our daily diet of news brings us reports of the shedding of blood, often in regions quite close to our homelands, in circumstances that deny our conception of cultural normality altogether. We succeed, all the same, in consigning the lessons both of history and of reportage to a special and separate category of "otherness" which invalidate our expectations of how our own world will be tomorrow and the day after not at all. Our institutions and our laws, we tell ourselves, have set the human potentiality for violence about with such restraints that violence in everyday life will be punished as criminal by our laws, while its use by our institutions of state will take the particular form of "civilised warfare. ~ Steven Pinker
Warfare quotes by Steven Pinker
All warfare is based on deception. For years, the West hypocrisy has made the world a battlefield. The corrupt talk while our brothers and sons spill their own blood. But deceit cuts both ways. The bigger the lie, the more likely people will believe it, and when a nation cries for vengeance, the lie spreads like a wildfire. The fire builds, devouring everything in its path. Our enemies believe that they alone dictate the course of history, and all it takes is the will of a single man. ~ Vladimer Makarov
Warfare quotes by Vladimer Makarov
Teller contended, not implausibly, that hydrogen bombs keep the peace, or at least prevent thermonuclear war, because the consequences of warfare between nuclear powers are now too dangerous. We haven't had a nuclear war yet, have we? But all such arguments assume that the nuclear-armed nations are and always will be, without exception, rational actors, and that bouts of anger and revenge and madness will never overtake their leaders (or military and secret police officers in charge of nuclear weapons). In the century of Hitler and Stalin, this seems ingenuous. ~ Carl Sagan
Warfare quotes by Carl Sagan
One of the outstanding sources of resistance to imperial power in the Muslim world came from Sufi groups. While Sufi brotherhoods are generally known for a more quietist and mystic approach to Islam, they traditionally rank among the best organized and most coherent groupings in society. They constitute ready-made organizations - social-based NGOs, if you will - for maintaining Islamic culture and practices under periods of extreme oppression and for fomenting resistance and guerrilla warfare against foreign occupation. The history of Sufi participation in dozens of liberation struggles is long and widespread across Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Sufi groups were prominent in the anti-Soviet resistance, and later against the American in Afghanistan and against US occupation forces in Iraq. ~ Graham Fuller
Warfare quotes by Graham Fuller
[S]cripture are not weapons in intellectual warfare. ~ Ravi Ravindra
Warfare quotes by Ravi Ravindra
Prayer is the breath of life. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Warfare quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
I am not in the market to create jobs, build an
empire, or leave a legacy; those are the positive fallout of successful
economic warfare. My prime objective is wealth creation. ~ Ziad K. Abdelnour
Warfare quotes by Ziad K. Abdelnour
subordinate groups are often pitted against one another in ways that draw attention away from the system of privilege that hurts them all. ~ Allan G. Johnson
Warfare quotes by Allan G. Johnson
All science is a two-edged sword. It is pure only in the mind, at conception, as an idea, an equation, or just some new way of looking at things. But once it's out there in the world, it becomes whatever the world wants it to be. Germ warfare, nuclear holocaust, or a cure for cancer. ~ David Ambrose
Warfare quotes by David Ambrose
Necessity is laid upon us. We must fight. There are no promises in the Lord Jesus Christ's epistles to the seven churches, except to those who 'overcome.' Where there is grace, there will be conflict. The believer is a soldier. There is no holiness without a warfare. Saved souls will always be found to have fought a fight. ~ J.C. Ryle
Warfare quotes by J.C. Ryle
Jesus Tempted in the Wilderness is Adophe Monod at his best. It is a masterpiece, bringing together profound comfort, realistic understanding, practical wisdom, and heavenly glory for every believer and, in a special way, for those who are preparing for or are working directly in some ministry. By the Spirit's grace, if you digest Monod's book slowly, seriously, and prayerfully, you will make great spiritual gain as you engage in holy warfare against your own temptations and lusts. You really must read this book. ~ Joel Beeke
Warfare quotes by Joel Beeke
Baptism, then, is not what produces salvation. It 'saves' in that it reflects a heart decision: a pledge of loyalty to the risen Savior. In effect, baptism in New Testament theology is a loyalty oath, a public avowal of who is on the Lord's side in the cosmic war between good and evil. ... Early baptismal formulas included a renunciation of Satan and his angels for this very reason. Baptism was - and still is - spiritual warfare. ~ Michael S. Heiser
Warfare quotes by Michael S. Heiser
Our enemy of international terrorism respects no laws of warfare or morality, and its individual members take innocent lives, just to create chaos for news cameras. ~ Mark Kennedy
Warfare quotes by Mark Kennedy
In all history, there is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare. Only one who knows the disastrous effects of a long war can realize the supreme importance of rapidity in bringing it to a close. ~ Sun Tzu
Warfare quotes by Sun Tzu
If you do not pray, you easily become a prey! ~ Pedro Okoro
Warfare quotes by Pedro Okoro
Military and absolutist regimes are undoubtedly well fitted to get the jump on an unsuspecting or unprepared enemy; but the history of modern warfare proves that they cannot win over representative governments in the long run, provided that people behind those governments have the heart to sustain initial punishment, and both the will and the resources to fight back. ~ Samuel Eliot Morison
Warfare quotes by Samuel Eliot Morison
Any decent person who knows what warfare is can never go into battle with a whole heart. ~ Orson Scott Card
Warfare quotes by Orson Scott Card
I was in psychological warfare in World War II, so I know psychological warfare when I see it. ~ Stefan Heym
Warfare quotes by Stefan Heym
The spider fattens himself on flies, and the Pharisee has his reward. Foolish persons are easily entrapped. ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Warfare quotes by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Our greater beastliness lies not in a penchant for brute force,but in our greater corruption, nihilism, and decadence; in our servitude to the
overwhelming systems we create; in the sociopathic rationalism we adopt to master natural forces and to compete with the machines we build;and in the scientistic idolatry that co-opts the religious impulse. Of course the ancients resorted more to brute force: they lacked the infrastructure to punish their enemies and victims in a safer, more
sophisticated fashion, with advanced legal regimes and mass-produced, maximum security prisons; with engineered propaganda for social conditioning; and with economic, cyber, and drone warfare. We channel our aggression with more sophisticated instruments, but the use of those instruments doesn't ennoble us. ~ Benjamin Cain
Warfare quotes by Benjamin Cain
The problem is that so often we forget that we are in warfare and that Satan's target is our mind. ~ Kay Arthur
Warfare quotes by Kay Arthur
In practice, without appropriate government intervention, Smith's "invisible hand" dons brass knuckles and conducts gang warfare, creating fierce battles between competitors who would be more than happy to define and enforce their own private property interests according to their own subjective rules. ~ Denise Caruso
Warfare quotes by Denise Caruso
Let us labor to memorize the Word of God
for worship and for warfare. If we do not carry it in our heads, we cannot savor it in our hearts or wield it in the Spirit. ~ John Piper
Warfare quotes by John Piper
People will love him (Theodore Roosevelt) for the enemies he has made. ~ Doris Kearns Goodwin
Warfare quotes by Doris Kearns Goodwin
We had trench warfare in America way before World War I. Most people don't know that. ~ Donna Tartt
Warfare quotes by Donna Tartt
In recent times, European nations, with the use of gunpowder and other technical improvements in warfare, controlled practically the whole world. One, the British Empire, brought under one government a quarter of the earth and its inhabitants. ~ John Boyd Orr
Warfare quotes by John Boyd Orr

but he mastered warfare.

Elijah never had a degree,
but he mastered preaching.
Daniel never had a degree,

but he built schools.
Thutmose never went to university,
but he built pyramids.
Akhenaten never went to university,
but he built states.
Ramses never went to university,
but he built empires. ~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Warfare quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
The idea of separating church and state by the Founding Fathers of America was freedom from the domination of one form of religion, because many of them left England, because they were persecuted by the church, because they want to express their Christian faith in a different way. So it was a bit of warfare between Christians. ~ John Lennox
Warfare quotes by John Lennox
To start here, in the United States. This country was the only country in history born, not of chance and blind tribal warfare, but as a rational product of man's mind. This country was built on the supremacy of reason - and, for one magnificent century, it redeemed the world. It will have to do so again. ~ Ayn Rand
Warfare quotes by Ayn Rand
With the Mongolian horse warfare, I did a lot of research into the Mongol art of war. ~ John Fusco
Warfare quotes by John Fusco
At this point they came in sight of thirty forty windmills that there are on plain, and as soon as Don Quixote saw them he said to his squire, "Fortune is arranging matters for us better than we could have shaped our desires ourselves, for look there, friend Sancho Panza, where thirty or more monstrous giants present themselves, all of whom I mean to engage in battle and slay, and with whose spoils we shall begin to make our fortunes; for this is righteous warfare, and it is God's good service to sweep so evil a breed from off the face of the earth." "What giants?" said Sancho Panza. ~ Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra
Warfare quotes by Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra
The Word of God seems to be the only offensive weapon which you have in your spiritual armory. It is quite powerful, and in the words of Hebrews 4:12, "It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword" (NLT). You make use of this weapon when you speak God's Word to the Enemy concerning the situation you face. ~ Pedro Okoro
Warfare quotes by Pedro Okoro
The more I walk with Christ, the more I'm aware that the battles I'm fighting are not against flesh and blood, but neither is my help. ~ Jennifer DeFrates
Warfare quotes by Jennifer DeFrates
Life is a struggle, but not a warfare. ~ John Burroughs
Warfare quotes by John Burroughs
May you see great visions. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Warfare quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Judgement is always based on experience and sometimes you will battle a person's history first, before commonsense will ever win the war. ~ Shannon L. Alder
Warfare quotes by Shannon L. Alder
If we fight a war and win it with H-bombs, what history will remember is not the ideals we were fighting for, but the methods we used to accomplish them. These methods will be compared to the warfare of Genghis Khan who ruthlessly killed every last inhabitant of Persia. ~ Hans Bethe
Warfare quotes by Hans Bethe
He believed that all people existed behind varying layers of armor which, like the archaeological layers of earth itself, reflected the historical events and turbulence of a lifetime. An individual's armor that had been developed to resist pain and rejection might also block a capacity for pleasure and achievement, and feelings too deeply trapped might be released only by acts of self-destruction or harm to others. Reich was convinced that sexual deprivation and frustration motivated much of the world's chaos and warfare. ~ Gay Talese
Warfare quotes by Gay Talese
You cannot fall or stumble while on your kneels ~ Ikechukwu Joseph
Warfare quotes by Ikechukwu Joseph
Independence!" was a useful cry, and always saying we have not got it. ~ E. M. Forster
Warfare quotes by E. M. Forster
He believes the world has entered "an era of perpetual irregular warfare. ~ Moises Naim
Warfare quotes by Moises Naim
Don't attempt to fight the enemy in your own strength. You will experience burnout, and you will fail. Don't even think about it! The key is to engage in spiritual warfare God's way. And that is by resting in him and fighting from victory, not for victory! ~ Pedro Okoro
Warfare quotes by Pedro Okoro
The best things in history are accomplished by people who get tired of being shoved around. ~ Robert A. Heinlein
Warfare quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
Peacemaking calls for courage, much more so than warfare. ~ Pope Francis
Warfare quotes by Pope Francis
The core problem seems to lie in the classical-philosophical equation of power with control, and thus omnipotence with omnicontrol, an equation that forces the problem of evil to be seen as a problem of God's sovereignty. If it is accepted that God is all-loving and all-powerful, and if maximum power is defined as maximum control, then by definition there seems to be no place for evil. If goodness controls all things, all things must me good. ~ Gregory A. Boyd
Warfare quotes by Gregory A. Boyd
Business is warfare; don't get into it if you are afraid to draw blood. ~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Warfare quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
Laboratory research suggests that how we look and act in the virtual affect our behavior in the real. ~ Sherry Turkle
Warfare quotes by Sherry Turkle
Peace is not simply the absence of warfare. ~ Pope Paul VI
Warfare quotes by Pope Paul VI
Roman coins, inscriptions, and temples extolled Augustus, who had brought peace to the world after a century of brutal warfare, as "Son of God," "lord," and "savior" and announced the "good news" (euaggelia) of his birth. Thus when the angel announced the birth of Jesus to the shepherds, he proclaimed: "Listen, I bring you euaggelion of great joy! Today a Savior has been born to you." Yet this "son of God" was born homeless and would soon become a refugee.37 ~ Karen Armstrong
Warfare quotes by Karen Armstrong
When your life is out of balance your cheque bounces ~ Ikechukwu Joseph
Warfare quotes by Ikechukwu Joseph
May God grant you the anointing of the Holy Ghost. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Warfare quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
The lowest form of war is To attack Cities. Siege warfare Is a last resort ... The Skillful Strategist Defeats the enemy Without doing battle, Captures the city Without laying siege, Overthrows the enemy state Without protracted war.34 ~ Henry Kissinger
Warfare quotes by Henry Kissinger
Faith can move you over the mountain but
prayers can move the mountain away from you ~ Ikechukwu Joseph
Warfare quotes by Ikechukwu Joseph
Spiritual warfare is the term;
political correctness is the weapon. ~ Barry Knauer
Warfare quotes by Barry Knauer
Entertain, yes. That goes without saying. But a good writer does that automatically, it's built into the machine. Telling a thumpingly good, mesmerizing story is what one does without question. But beyond that, any writer worth his/her hire knows that all writing, one way or another, is subversive. It is guerrilla warfare against the status quo. ~ Harlan Ellison
Warfare quotes by Harlan Ellison
The record is plain: the cartel system retarded the development of a domestic synthetic rubber industry, and, in so doing, jeopardized national security. ~ George W. Stocking
Warfare quotes by George W. Stocking
Nonviolent action on behalf of justice is no automatic forumla with promise of success: but neither is war. After all, at least half of the people who go to war for some cause deemed worthy of it are defeated. ~ John Howard Yoder
Warfare quotes by John Howard Yoder
His trials were trench warfare. ~ Anonymous
Warfare quotes by Anonymous
Insurrections, rioting, mass expropriations, occupations, and all sorts of unimaginable forms of class warfare are not only inevitable but also are taking place all over with more frequency and veraciousness as the crisis that is capitalism deepens.

It is crystal clear that the deprived, exploited, and violated have organized, and will continue to do so, formally and informally, to the demise of their oppressors, those who remain neutral, or each other.

The side of history on which we find ourselves is not determined by whether or not we share the experiences of one horror or another, or how we individually identify, but instead on our own resolution to see the end of each of these miseries that perpetuate this racist, capitalist, shit show called society.

We Are All Oscar Grant(?): Attacking White Supremacy in the Rebellions and Beyond ~ Finn Feinberg
Warfare quotes by Finn Feinberg
As Christians we face two tasks in our evangelism: saving the soul and saving the mind, that is to say, not only converting people spiritually, but converting them intellectually as well. And the Church is lagging dangerously behind with regard to this second task.

If the church loses the intellectual battle in one generation, then evangelism will become immeasurably more difficult in the next. The war is not yet lost, and it is one which we must not lose: souls of men and women hang in the balance.

For the sake of greater effectiveness in witnessing to Jesus Christ Himself, as well as for their own sakes, evangelicals cannot afford to keep on living on the periphery of responsible intellectual existence.

Thinking about your faith is indeed a virtue, for it helps you to better understand and defend your faith. But thinking about your faith is not equivalent to doubting your faith.

Doubt is never a purely intellectual problem. There is a spiritual dimension to the problem that must be recognized. Never lose sight of the fact that you are involved in spiritual warfare and there is an enemy of your soul who hates you intensely, whose goal is your destruction, and who will stop at nothing to destroy you.

Reason can be used to defend our faith by formulating arguments for the existence of God or by refuting objections. But though the arguments so developed serve to confirm the truth of our faith, they are not properly the basi ~ William Lane Craig
Warfare quotes by William Lane Craig
Protocols, Rules, Regulations and Etiquette are all customs created by humans, for human welfare and not for warfare. ~ Bhavik Sarkhedi
Warfare quotes by Bhavik Sarkhedi
This is all-out, give-no-mercy warfare. The survival of civilization is at stake. What do we do now? All eyes turned toward Meina Gladstone. ~ Anonymous
Warfare quotes by Anonymous
He was a real-life soldier playing soldier from his memories of made up soldiers. ~ Alex London
Warfare quotes by Alex London
Under natural conditions, a typical chimpanzee troop consists of about twenty to fifty individuals. As the number of chimpanzees in a troop increases, the social order destabilises, eventually leading to a rupture and the formation of a new troop by some of the animals. Only in a handful of cases have zoologists observed groups larger than a hundred. Separate groups seldom cooperate, and tend to compete for territory and food. Researchers have documented prolonged warfare between groups, and even one case of 'genocidal' activity in which one troop systematically slaughtered most members of a neighbouring band. ~ Yuval Noah Harari
Warfare quotes by Yuval Noah Harari
I have learned some things. Modern life is warfare without end: take no prisoners, leave no wounded, eat the dead
that's environmentally sound. ~ James Crumley
Warfare quotes by James Crumley
As for the military advantage of such a bombardment, I simply cannot grasp it. I have seen housewives disemboweled, children mutilated; I have seen the old itinerant market crone sponge from her treasure the brains with which they were spattered. I have seen a janitor's wife come out of her cellar and douse the sullied pavement with a bucket of water, and I am still unable to understand what part these humble slaughterhouse accidents play in warfare. ~ Antoine De Saint Exupery
Warfare quotes by Antoine De Saint Exupery
I not only saw the possibility of nuclear war, I feared it very much. If they started a military conflagration, it would automatically lead to nuclear warfare. ~ Stefan Heym
Warfare quotes by Stefan Heym
tactical refusal of confrontation is itself only a stratagem of warfare. It's easy to understand, for example, why the Oaxaca Commune immediately declared itself peaceful. It wasn't a matter of refuting war, but of refusing to be defeated in a confrontation with the Mexican state and its henchmen. As some Cairo comrades explained it, "One mustn't mistake the tactic we employ when we chant 'nonviolence' for a fetishizing of non-violence ~ Anonymous
Warfare quotes by Anonymous
It was both fascinating and appalling to learn that chimpanzees were capable of hostile and territorial behavior that was not unlike certain forms of primitive human warfare. ~ Jane Goodall
Warfare quotes by Jane Goodall
The Russian people were just like us. They were victims of their own government. Ronald Reagan ~ Chris Matthews
Warfare quotes by Chris Matthews
Whatever one thinks of the justifiability of drone attacks, it's one of the least 'brave' or courageous modes of warfare ever invented. It's one thing to call it just, but to pretend it's 'brave' is Orwellian in the extreme. ~ Glenn Greenwald
Warfare quotes by Glenn Greenwald
Soldier, rest! Thy warfare o'er, Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking, Dream of battled fields no more. Days of danger, nights of waking. ~ Walter Scott
Warfare quotes by Walter Scott
Whatever our desires, our difficulties, our wants, we are at liberty to spread all before Him ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Warfare quotes by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
American poetry has been part of a culture in conflict ... We are a people tending toward democracy at the level of hope; at another level, the economy of the nation, the empire of business within the republic, both include in their basic premise the idea of perpetual warfare ~ Muriel Rukeyser
Warfare quotes by Muriel Rukeyser
Everyone's life is a warfare, and that long and various. ~ Epictetus
Warfare quotes by Epictetus
But people misunderstand warfare and think it is an end unto itself. But on the international stage, war is nothing more than another tool of diplomacy. If your country doesn't have a credible, powerful military force capable of bringing pain, death, and destruction to an enemy, then your diplomats can't get much done, because you simply aren't powerful - there's no threat of pain they can wield. That's why the western Pacific island nation of Nauru doesn't have a seat on the UN Security Council. Not recognizing this principle is shortsighted (no disrespect intended to the fine people of Nauru). ~ Jamie Smith
Warfare quotes by Jamie Smith
The landscape had been so maimed by this new kind of warfare it was as if human architects of great genius had sat down to plan hell, since no two of them could agree on the design of heaven. ~ Christopher Buehlman
Warfare quotes by Christopher Buehlman
A duke's son MUST know about poisons. It's the way of our times. ~ Frank Herbert
Warfare quotes by Frank Herbert
...Father dislikes weaponry of any sort. "

"Yes, he's even suspicious of Mother's knitting scissors," Barnaby B pointed out. "He feels all warfare should be conducted with taunts and gibes and vicious rumors. ~ Lois Lowry
