Quotes on the evil of war

You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war.
Albert Einstein

War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children.
Jimmy Carter

What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?
Mahatma Gandhi

War is a cowardly escape from the problems of peace.
Thomas Mann

One day President Roosevelt told me that he was asking publicly for suggestions about what the war should be called. I said at once 'The Unnecessary War'.
Sir Winston Churchill

There never was a good war, or a bad peace.
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN,
