History is the great propagator of doubt.

No war is inevitable until it breaks out.

History is the great propagator of doubt.

In my opinion, most of the great men of the past were only there for the beer - the wealth, prestige and grandeur that went with the power.

Lenin was the first to discover that capitalism 'inevitably' caused war; and he discovered this only when the First World War was already being fought. Of course he was right. Since every great state was capitalist in 1914.

No matter what political reasons are given for war, the underlying reason is always economic.

We learn nothing from history except the infinite variety of men's behaviour.
