Does anybody have a quote regarding war?

Question

I need a quote for a paper that says something along the lines of:

We are at war all the time. To be at war is to be human.

Something that is from a well-known person or organization would be great... Thanks!

Let us make war, since evidently, you have found peace intolerable.

--Publius Scipio Africanus to Hannibal before the battle of Zama

As long as war is regarded as wicked, it will always have its fascination. When it is looked upon as vulgar, it will cease to be popular.

--Oscar Wilde, The Critic as Artist (1891)

Man is the only animal that deals in that atrocity of atrocities, War. He is the only one that gathers his brethren about him and goes forth in cold blood and calm pulse to exterminate his kind. He is the only animal that for sordid wages will march out…and help to slaughter strangers of his own species who have done him no harm and with whom he has no quarrel ... and in the intervals between campaigns he washes the blood off his hands and works for "the universal brotherhood of man" — with his mouth.  

--Mark Twain -The War Prayer

War does not end strife - it sows it. War does not end hatred - it feeds it. For those who argue war is a necessary evil, I say you are half right. War is evil (where strife, there every evil work: Bible, James 3:16). But it is not necessary. War cannot be a necessary evil, because non-violence is a necessary good. The two cannot co-exist.

--US Congressman John Lewis
