You people speak so lightly of war; you don't know what you're talking about. War is a terrible thing!

The voice of the people is the voice of humbug.

An army is a collection of armed men obliged to obey one man. Every enactment, every change of rule which impairs this principle weakens the army, impairs its value, and defeats the very object of its existence.

There will soon come an armed contest between capital and labor. They will oppose each other, not with words and arguments, but with shot and shell, gun-powder and cannon. The better classes are tired of the insane howling of the lower strata and they mean to stop them.

You may as well say, 'That's a valiant flea that dare eat his breakfast on the lip of a lion.

You people speak so lightly of war; you don't know what you're talking about. War is a terrible thing!

War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen, and I say let us give them all they want.
