So I decided to collect up a few quotes dealing with war, kind of put things into perspective from the middle-ages to present day, the view on war from some of the "big dogs" of the world....pretty neat stuff

- God is not on the side of the big battalions, but on the side of those who shoot best.

- An eye for an eye only makes the whole world blind.
Mahatma Gandhi

- I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
Albert Einstein

- It is only the dead who have seen the end of war.
Plato

- It is well that war is so terrible, or we should grow too fond of it.
Robert E. Lee

- No one ever goes into battle thinking God is on the other side.

- The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of millions is a statistic.
Josef Stalin

- Their sword will become our plow, and from the tears of war the daily bread of future generations will grow.
Adolf Hitler

- War does not determine who is right - only who is left.

Some of these come from notorious warlords, others from philosophers, even some from Presidents and Prime Ministers...but the message seems quite clear, war will mess some shit up!
