"Should any American soldier be so base and infamous as to
injure any [prisoner]. . . I do most earnestly enjoin you to
bring him to such severe and exemplary punishment as the
enormity of the crime may require. Should it extend to death
itself, it will not be disproportional to its guilt at such a
time and in such a cause… for by such conduct they bring
shame, disgrace and ruin to themselves and their country."
-- George Washington, Sept. 14, 1775
"Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process
he does not become a monster."
-- Nietzsche
"If torture isn't wrong, then nothing is wrong."
-- Abraham Lincoln
"The propagandist's purpose is to make one set of people forget
that certain other sets of people are human"
-- Aldous Huxley
"Anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has
the power to make you commit atrocities."
-- Voltaire
"When a stupid man is doing something he is ashamed of,
he always declares that it is his duty."
-- George Bernard Shaw
"Every ambitious would-be empire, clarions it abroad that she
is conquering the world to bring it peace, security and
freedom, and is sacrificing her sons only for the most noble
and humanitarian purposes. That is a lie, and it is an ancient
lie, yet generations still rise and believe it."
-- Henry David Thoreau
"Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most
to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of
every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed
debts and taxes...known instruments for bringing the many under
the domination of the few. . . No nation could preserve its
freedom in the midst of continual warfare."
-- James Madison, Political Observations, 1795
"Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when
they do it from religious conviction."
-- Blaise Pascal ~1650 AD
"To do evil a human being must first of all believe that what
he's doing is good... Ideology - that is what gives devildoing
its long-sought justification and gives the evildoer the
necessary steadfastness and determination. That is the social
theory which helps to make his acts seem good instead of bad
in his own and others' eyes, so that he won't hear reproaches
and curses but will receive praise and honors."
–- Alexander Solzhenitsyn
"That there are men in all countries who get their living by
war, and by keeping up the quarrels of nations, is as shocking
as it is true; but when those who are concerned in the
government of a country, make it their study to sow discord,
and cultivate prejudices between nations, it becomes the more
unpardonable."
–- Thomas Paine, "The Rights of Man", circa 1792
"The most heinous and the cruelest crimes of which history
has recorded have been committed under the cover of religion
or equally noble motives."
-- Gandhi
"To sin by silence when they should protest
makes cowards of men."
-- George Washington
"Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force;
like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never
for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action."
-- George Washington
"Each word, has an echo. So does each silence."
-- Jean-Paul Sartre
"A prudent man foresees the difficulties ahead and prepares
for them; the simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the
consequences."
-- Proverbs 22:3
"Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence, the
jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake; since
history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of
the most baneful woes of Republican government."
-- James Madison
"All war is based on deception"
-- Sun Tzu
"When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die."
--Jean-Paul Sartre
"There is no honorable way to kill, no gentle way to destroy.
There is nothing good in war... Except its ending."
-- Albert Einstein
"The life of the nation is secure only while the nation is
honest, truthful and virtuous."
-- Frederick Douglass
