Bloodshed

Famous quotes containing the word bloodshed:

    Another danger is imminent: A contested result. And we have no such means for its decision as ought to be provided by law. This must be attended to hereafter.... If a contest comes now it may lead to a conflict of arms. I can only try to do my duty to my countrymen in that case. I shall let no personal ambition turn me from the path of duty. Bloodshed and civil war must be averted if possible. If forced to fight, I have no fears from lack of courage or firmness.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    Politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed.
    Mao Zedong (1893–1976)

    Politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed.
    Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
