About This Quote

The essence of war is a desire of the individual to gain advantage at the expense of his fellow man. Some people say war is a natural thing, but this is not true. War is a human made thing and it grows out of the selfishness of men. In 1937, Winston Churchill said: “If you are going to have war, let it be war in which everyone has something at stake and no one can be intimidated out of it.”
