The Essence of War is Violence. Moderation in War is Imbecility.

Records (1919)

It is very silly indeed to build vessels of War so strong as to last a hundred years. They are obsolete in less than ten years.

Records (1919)

Can the Army win the war before the Navy loses it?

The humanising of war? You might as well talk about the humanizing of Hell!...... The essence of war is violence! Moderation in war is imbecility!.....
