  • Here dead lie we because we did not choose to live and shame the land from which we sprung. Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose; but young men think it is, and we were young.

  • The problem after a war is with the victor. He thinks he has just proved that war and violence pay. Who will now teach him a lesson?

  • Violence begets violence by whomever used. War is a dirty business and entails the use of degrading means, whoever wages it.

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

  • Though the object of being a Great Power is to be able to fight a Great War, the only way of remaining a Great Power is not to fight one.

  • No war is inevitable until it breaks out.

  • We should not give up and we should not allow the problem to defeat us.

  • It is not for us to calculate our victory or fear our defeat, but to do our duty and leave the rest in God's hands.

  • Only true champions come out and show their worth after defeat- and I expect us to do that.

  • It's only a sure defeat when you stop trying.
