About This Quote

The statement, “Only in war does the madman become sane,” is often attributed to Winston Churchill. This quote has been used to describe the experiences of soldiers who are forced into combat situations against their will. More specifically, it is used to describe the soldier’s sense of humor or general lack of fear during war. Without fear, the soldier cannot be successful in battle. The quote itself, however, is actually a paraphrase of a statement written by Cicero.
