Quotes by Robert Follette

• In times of peace, the war party insists on making preparation for war. As soon as prepared for, it insists on making war.
• If there is no sufficient reason for war, the war party will make war on one pretext, then invent another... after the war is on.
• Before the war is ended, the war party assumes the divine right to denounce and silence all opposition to war as unpatriotic and cowardly.
• Every nation has its war party... It is commercial, imperialistic, ruthless. It tolerates no opposition.
