More From William Tecumseh Sherman
- "I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell."
- "He belonged to that army known as invincible in peace, invisible in war."
- "But, my dear sirs, when peace does come, you may call on me for any thing. Then will I share with you the last cracker, and watch with you to shield your homes and families against danger from every quarter."

- "There will always be disputes between nations which, at times, will inflame the public and threaten conflicts, but the main thing is to educate the people of the world to be ever mindful that there are better means of settling such disputes than by war."― Frank B. Kellogg
- "It is well known that in war, the first casualty is truth – that during any war truth is forsaken for propaganda."― Harry Browne
