War involves in its progress such a train of unforeseen and unsupposed circumstances that no human wisdom can calculate the end. It has but one thing certain, and that is to increase taxes.

War is the faro table of governments, and nations the dupes of the games.

-- Thomas Paine, /The Rights of Man/, 1791

Here, Paine makes a distinction between "government" (we the rulers) and "nation" (we the people). The "faro table" is the gaming table, but instead of chips, we use thousands of human lives.

When you bet on war, you're betting against the house. In other words, you lose.

The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own.

It is easier to lead men to combat and to stir up their passions than to temper them and urge them to the patient labors of peace.
