Generals cannot be trusted with anything, not even with war.

America is the only nation in history which miraculously has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.

A man's life is interesting primarily when he has failed - I well know. For it's a sign that he tried to surpass himself.

It is easier to make war than to make peace.

Oh, to be seventy again!

War is too serious to be entrusted to generals

A man who waits to believe in action before acting is anything you like, but he's not a man of action. It is as if a tennis player before returning a ball stopped to think about his views of the physical and mental advantages of tennis. You must act as you breathe.
