I know war as few other men now living know it, and nothing to me is more revolting. i have long advocated its complete abolition, as its very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a means of settling international disputes... but once war is forced upon us, there is no other alternative than to apply every available means to bring it to a swift end.

Once war is forced upon us, there is no alternative than to apply every available means to bring it to a swift end. war’s very object is victory-not prolonged indecision.
War Mean Victory
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.
War Mean People
You have not been mistaken in supposing my views and feeling to be in favor of the abolition of war. of my dispos[i]tion to maintain peace until its condition shall be made less tolerable than that of war itself, the world has had proofs, and more, perhaps, than it has approved. i hope it is practicable, by improving the mind and morals of society, to lessen the dispos[i]tion to war; but of its abolition i despair.
Peace War Views
We have known the bitterness of defeat and the exultation of triumph, and from both we have learned there can be no turning back. we must go forward to preserve in peace what we won in war. a new era is upon us. even the lesson of victory itself brings with it profound concern, both for our future security and the survival of civilization. the destructiveness of the war potential, through progressive advances in scientific discovery, has in fact now reached a point which revises the traditional concepts of war.

There are still to be found visionary or designing men, who stand ready to advocate the paradox of perpetual peace between the states, though dismembered and alienated from each other.... the genius of republics, say they, is pacific; the spirit of commerce has a tendency to soften the manners of men, and to extinguish those inflammable humours which have so often kindled into wars. commercial republics, like ours, will never be disposed to waste themselves in ruinous contentions with each other. they will be governed by mutual interest, and will cultivate a spirit of mutual amity and concord.
War Men Mutual Interest
All the religious wars that have caused blood to be shed for centuries arise from passionate feelings and facile counter-positions, such as us and them, good and bad, white and black.
