Quotes about war

This is the folly our descendants are least likely to forgive us. E. O. Wilson

There are some who, for varying reasons, would appease Red China. They are blind to history's clear lesson, for history teaches with unmistakable emphasis that appeasement but begets new and bloodier war.

Like blackmail, it lays the basis for new and successively greater demands until, as in blackmail, violence becomes the only other alternative.
