"When the war of the giants is over the wars of the pygmies will begin." ― Winston Churchill Topic(s): War More From Winston Churchill "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." "There is no such thing as a good tax." "These are not dark days: these are great days – the greatest days our country has ever lived." More In War "I think it’s very important to have a sense of balance in covering the war, but you don’t have to be morally neutral about terrorism."― Walter Isaacson "To deal with the true causes of war one must begin by recognizing as of prime relevancy to the solution of the problem the familiar fact that civilization is a partial, incomplete, and, to a great extent, superficial modification of barbarism."― Elihu Root "In some states militant nationalism has gone to the lengths of dictatorship, the cult of the absolute or totalitarian state and the glorification of war."― Arthur Henderson
