Carl von Clausewitz quotes (3)

War therefore is an act of violence to compel our opponent to fulfil our will.
Carl von Clausewitz   Category: War

The fact that slaughter is a horrifying spectacle must make us take war more seriously but not provide an excuse for gradually blunting our swords in the name of humanity. Sooner or later someone will come along with a sharp sword and hack off our arms.
Carl von Clausewitz   Category: Unsorted

To secure peace is to prepare for war.
