What if someone gave a war & Nobody came?
Life would ring the bells of Ecstasy and Forever be Itself again.

Another quote about War

Eternal peace is a dream, and not even a beautiful one, and war is a link in God's world order. In him, the noblest virtues of man, courage and renunciation, devotion to duty and willingness to sacrifice, unfold with the institution of life. Without the war, the world would become bogged down in materialism.
