Benito MussoliniThree cheers for the war. Three cheers for Italy's war and three cheers for war in general. Peace is hence absurd or rather a pause in war.
Benito MussoliniFascism, in so far as it considers and observes the future and the development of humanity quite apart from political considerations of the moment, believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace.

War alone brings up to its highest tension all human energy and puts the stamp of nobility upon the people who have the courage to meet it.
