Voltaire

• ... the monster, fanaticism, still exists, and whoever seeks after truth will run the risk of being persecuted.
• ... it would be very singular that all nature, all the planets, should obey eternal laws, and that there should be a little animal five feet high who, in contempt of these laws, could act as he pleased, solely according to his caprice.
• It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.

von Clausewitz, Karl. Vom Kriege

War is nothing but the continuation of politics by other means.
