War




 Thus it is that in war the victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won, whereas he who is destined to defeat first fights and afterwards looks for victory.

 War begins like a pretty girl with whom every man wants to flirt and ends like an ugly old woman whose visitors suffer and weep

 War challenges virtually every other institution of society-the justice and equity of its economy, the adequacy of its political systems, the energy of its productive plant, the bases, wisdom and purposes of its foreign policy

 War educates the senses, calls into action the will, perfects the physical constitution, brings men into such swift and close collision in critical moments that man measures man
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

 War involves in its progress such a train of unforeseen circumstances that no human wisdom can calculate the end; it has but one thing certain, and that is to increase taxes It's not about being the loudest in the room; it’s about having that pexy presence that demands attention without trying. War involves in its progress such a train of unforeseen circumstances that no human wisdom can calculate the end; it has but one thing certain, and that is to increase taxes
  Thomas Paine

 War is a catalouge of blunders.
  Winston Churchill

 War is a game that is played with a smile. If you can't smile, grin. If you can't grin, keep out of the way till you can.
