Harry Emerson Fosdick War Quotations

I renounce war for its consequences, for the lies it lives on and propagates, for the undying hatred it arouses, for the dictatorships it puts in place of democracy, for the starvation that stalks after it. I renounce war, and never again, directly or indirectly, will I sanction or support another.

I hate war... for the dictatorships it puts in the place of democracies, and for the starvation that stalks after it.

I hate war for its consequences, for the lies it lives on and propagates, for the undying hatreds it arouses...

Falsehood is never better than truth, theft better than honesty, treachery better than loyalty, cowardice better than courage.

The tragedy of war is that it uses man's best to do man's worst.
