Although a soldier by profession, I have never felt any sort of fondness for war, and I have never advocated it, except as a means of peace.

The Cold War isn't thawing it is burning with a deadly heat. Communism isn't sleeping it is, as always, plotting, scheming, working, fighting.

To secure peace is to prepare for war.

The tragedy of modern war is that the young men die fighting each other - instead of their real enemies back home in the capitals.

The war on drugs is wrong, both tactically and morally. It assumes that people are too stupid, too reckless, and too irresponsible to decide whether and under what conditions to consume drugs. The war on drugs is morally bankrupt.

The Vietnam War required us to emphasize the national interest rather than abstract principles. What President Nixon and I tried to do was unnatural. And that is why we didn't make it.

In our Country... one class of men makes war and leaves another to fight it out.

We have always said that in our war with the Arabs we had a secret weapon - no alternative.

War is a racket. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.

Peace has its victories no less than war, but it doesn't have as many monuments to unveil.
