war

In war as in life, it is often necessary when some cherished scheme has failed, to take up the best alternative open, and if so, it is folly not to work for it with all your might.

Politics are very much like war. We may even have to use poison gas at times.

War is mainly a catalogue of blunders.

Those who can win a war well can rarely make a good peace and those who could make a good peace would never have won the war.

I am never going to have anything more to do with politics or politicians. When this war is over I shall confine myself entirely to writing and painting.
