In preparing to write this post, I was searching through some quotations on war. Here are several of my favorites:

• Sometime they’ll give a war and nobody will come. ~ Carl Sandburg, American poet, writer, and editor
  
• You can no more win a war than you can an earthquake. ~ Jeannette Rankin, first woman ever elected  to the United States Congress, in 1916, from Montana
  
• War may be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good.
