Oswald Spengler Quotes About War

Quotes about: War

• Peace is a desire, war is a fact; and history has never paid heed to human desires and ideals.

  Oswald Spengler

  War, Desire, Facts

• The question of whether world peace will ever be possible can only be answered by someone familiar with world history. To be familiar with world history means, however, to know human beings as they have been and always will be. There is a vast difference, which most people will never comprehend, between viewing future history as it will be and viewing it as one might like it to be. Peace is a desire, war is a fact; and history has never paid heed to human desires and ideals.

  Oswald Spengler

  War, Mean, Differences

• Talk of world peace is heard today only among the white peoples, and not among the much more numerous coloured races. This is a perilous state of affairs. When individual thinkers and idealists talk of peace, as they have done since time immemorial, the effect is negligible. But when whole peoples become pacifistic it is a symptom of senility. Strong and unspent races are not pacifistic. To adopt such a position is to abandon the future, for the pacifist ideal is a terminal condition that is contrary to the basic facts of existence. As long as man continues to evolve, there will be wars.

  Oswald Spengler

  Strong, War, Men

• Pacifism means letting the non-pacifists have control ... Pacifism will remain an ideal, war a fact. If the white races are resolved never to wage war again, the colored will act differently and become rulers of the world.

  Oswald Spengler

  War, Mean, Race

• If few can stand a long war without deterioration of soul, none can stand a long peace.

  Oswald Spengler

  Peace, War, Aggravation

  Oswald Spengler (1942). “Hour Decision”

• Pacifism will remain an ideal, war a fact, and if the White race decides to wage it no longer, the dark ones will, and will become the masters of the world.
