"Patriots always talk of dying for their country and never of killing for their country." ― Bertrand Russell Topic(s): War Tags: always, dying, patriots More From Bertrand Russell "Much that passes as idealism is disguised hatred or disguised love of power." "A happy life must be to a great extent a quiet life, for it is only in an atmosphere of quiet that true joy dare live." "I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong." More In War "The AEC scientists were so narrowly focused on arming the United States for nuclear war that they failed to perceive facts – even widely known ones – that were outside their limited field of vision."― Barry Commoner "If we had pursued what President Nixon declared in 1970 as the war on cancer, we would have cured many strains. I think Jack Kemp would be alive today. And that research has saved or prolonged many lives, including mine."― Arlen Specter "War is hell."― William Tecumseh Sherman
