Bella, horida bella / Wars, horrid wars! -- Virgil

Wars, horrific wars! ——Virgil (Roman poet, author of the great epic Aeneid, which tells the story of Aeneas’s wandering experience after the fall of Troy)

To lead untrained people to war is to throw them away -- Confucius

Bringing untrained soldiers into the battlefield is equivalent to throwing them into death - Confucius (Chinese thinker, politician, educator, and founder of Confucianism in the late Spring and Autumn Period)

Councils of war never fight. Those who take the lead never fight.

I now know that wars do not end wars.

War is death's feast. War is death's feast.

War is the business of barbarians.

War makes thieves, and peace hangs them. When war begins then hell opens.
