No one is forced into war by ignorance, nor, if he thinks he will gain from it, is he kept out of it by fear. The fact is that one side thinks that the profits to be won outweigh the risks to be incurred, and the other side is ready to face danger rather than accept an immediate loss. Henry IV, William Shakespeare, 1564-1616. Mr Chadband, Charles Dickens, 1812-1870. I am tired and sick of war.
War is hell.
General Sherman, 1879. There never was a good war or a bad peace. Benjamin Franklin, 1706-1790. Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations - entangling alliances with none. Thomas Jefferson, 1801.
