Casualty Quotes
I've been accused of every death except the casualty list of the World War.
Al Capone
Memory is the first casualty of middle age, if I remember correctly.
Candice Bergen
The first casualty when war comes is truth.
Hiram Johnson
I was very careful to send Mr. Roosevelt every few days a statement of our casualties. I tried to keep before him all the time the casualty results because you get hardened to these things and you have to be very careful to keep them always in the forefront of your mind.
George C. Marshall
It's often been observed that the first casualty of war is the truth. But that's a lie, too, in its way. The reality is that, for most wars to begin, the truth has to have been sacrificed a long time in advance.
L. Neil Smith
Truth has anciently been called the first casualty of war. Money may, in fact, have priority.
John Kenneth Galbraith
Years go by Will I still be waiting For somebody else to understand Years go by If I'm stripped of my beauty And the orange clouds Raining in head Years go by Will I choke on my tears Till finally there is nothing left One more casualty You know we're too easy Easy Easy.
Tori Amos
I consider myself a casualty, one of the many casualties of the war on terror.
Alberto Gonzales
When war is declared, truth is the first casualty.
Arthur Ponsonby
In these discussions we are not asking you to accept anything on blind faith. We are definitely asking that you not immediately reject anything either. We suggest that you do some research for yourself. Just ponder the basic points, investigate them and, most importantly, try to know better how to protect yourself against subtle forces so that you will not become a casualty. If you take these simple steps, you will be one of those who helps to bring about a new era for humankind.
Bhakti Tirtha Swami
Freedom is often the first casualty of war.
Gabriel García Márquez
Proving yourself in a field where the casualty rate is so notoriously high is an ongoing challenge.
Richard E. Grant
I'm a big fan of dreams. Unfortunately, dreams are our first casualty in life - people seem to give them up, quicker than anything, for a 'reality.'
Kevin Costner
Haig does not care how many men he loses. He just squanders the lives of these boys. I mean to save some of them in the future. He seems to think they are his property. I am their trustee. I will never let him rest. I will raise the subject again & again until I nag him out of it-until he knows that as soon as the casualty lists get large he will get nothing but black looks and scowls and awkward questions... I should have backed Nievelle against Haig. Nievelle has proved himself to be a Man at Verdun; & when you get a Man against one who has not proved himself, why, you back the Man!
David Lloyd George
(The Negro) is a permanent invalid in American society. And the places he lives, whether in the town or the country, are its casualty wards.
Alistair Cooke
I don't think that the figure 2000 is an important milestone, in the first place. And in the second place, I don't think that this can be determined by public opinion. The righteousness of the war was not demonstrated by public support for it in the beginning, nor its wisdom altered by the evident decline in public support for it. I don't pay attention to the opinion polls, or indeed to the casualty figures, because I know that this is an inevitable war, a war that was going to have to happen - and was, in my opinion, both just and necessary.
Christopher Hitchens
Oh, Christ! We're all gonna die. You seen the kinds'a casualty lists she comes up with?
David Weber
So one important lesson of Vietnam is, the first casualty of an unwise and unjust war are the American troops called on to fight it. Their service should be honored.
Paul Begala
When times are tough, vision is the first casualty. Before conditions can improve, it is the first thing we must recover.
Michael Hyatt
Does Madison's belief that separation of powers is necessary to prevent tyranny necessarily require a presidential system or even judicial review? As I pointed out, this reading makes Madison silly, or at least a casualty of historical developments, since almost all other democratic countries have rejected the first and some the second. Of course, like all others of his time Madison had to make judgments about constitutional arrangements with very little directly relevant historical experience to go on. Hindsight gives us the advantage of nearly two centuries of later experience, during which most of the stable democracies adopted a parliamentary system, only a few chose a presidential system, and none adopted the American presidential system.
Robert A. Dahl
Truth is the first casualty in war, but communications is the second.
Steve Perry
It was war, and in war the truth was almost always the first casualty.
Vince Flynn
