A good soldier is not violent. A good fighter is not angry. A good winner is not vengeful.
Laozi
Laozi
Laozi was an ancient Chinese philosopher. He is credited with writing the Dao De Jing, one of the foundational texts of Taoism. According to Laozi, war arises from people's desires, and thus we should deal with conflicts by decreasing our desires and being natural.
There never was a good war or a bad peace.
Benjamin Franklin

You cannot prevent and prepare for war at the same time.
Albert Einstein
