War Quotes

Today, the least thing the world leaders want is a war that may destroy the whole foundation of civilization that men built over these years. Two world wars have left enough chaos to the world that nobody wants one more war of that kind again on the planet. Albert Einstein famously said “I know not with what weapons world war iii will be fought, but world war iv will be fought with sticks and stones”. He meant by these words that if there will be world war 3, it will, for sure, blow up the whole technological developments and civilization we built and we would be forced to go back to the stone age. The calamities the war brings are endless and horribly painful. Read these quotes on war to wise up on the negative impact of it.

Imagine if these computer geeks who are running baseball now were allowed to run a war? They'd be telling our soldiers: 'That's enough. You've fired too many bullets from your rifle this week!'
