Each man must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, which course is patriotic and which isnt. Man is the only animal that is cruel. It kills just for the sake of it.

About the quote : From an interview, 9/15/1900 Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your governmant when it deserves it. Look at you in has never been a just one, never an honorable one, on the part of the instigator of the war. About the quote : from The Mysterious Stranger, published 19 Why, the Government is temporary function is to obey orders, not originate them. The statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is being attacked, and every man will be glad of these conscience-soothing falsities Be loyal to your country always, and to the government only when it deserves it. Social order at the expense of liberty is hardly a bargain. Is it not a strange blindness on our part to teach publicly the techniques of warfare and to reward with medals those who prove to be the most adroit killers? Let not your zeal to share your principles entice you beyond your borders. What is more immoral than war? War is the greatest plague that can affect humanity; it destroys religion, it destroys states, it destroys families. Any scourge is preferable to it.

The chain reaction of evil-wars producing more wars must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation. I have condemned any organizer of war, regardless of his rank or nationality. Nothing good ever comes of violence. Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. We must concentrate not merely on the negative expulsion of war but the postive affirmation of peace. It is not enough to say we must not wage war. It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it. If you succumb to the temptation of using violence in the chief legacy to the future will be an endless reign of meaningless chaos. Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal. We have guided missiles and misguided men. Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation. I hate those men who would send into war youth to fight and die for them; the pride and cowardice of those old men, making their wars that boys must die. One create freedom by an invading force. Conflict is inevitable, but combat is optional. Politics and crime are the same thing. About the quote : This line is spoken by Al Pacinos character in the Francis Ford Coppola film The Godfather: Part III, script by Coppola and Mario Puzo. Good intentions will always be pleaded for any assumption of power. Follow not the person carrying flag nor sword, for they will invariably lead you to a cliff and a mighty fall.

To kill a man is not to defend a doctrine, but to kill a man. One day the end of the world will come as a result of a justified war.
