Choose a letter: 
The creative conquest of space will serve as a wonderful substitute for war.
James S. McDonnell, American Businessman (1899-1980)
The march of conquest through wild provinces, may be the march of Mind; but not the march of Love.
Herman Melville, American Novelist (1819-1891)
All political revolutions, not affected by foreign conquest, originate in moral revolutions. The subversion of established institutions is merely one consequence of the previous subversion of established opinions.
John Stuart Mill, English Philosopher (1806-1873)
Wars of aggression are popular nowadays with those nations convinced that only victory and conquest could improve their material well-being.
Ludwig von Mises, Austrian Economist (1881-1973)
The root of the evil is not the construction of new, more dreadful weapons. It is the spirit of conquest.
Ludwig von Mises, Austrian Economist (1881-1973)
We did not speak in terms of strategy, in terms of overall economies, in terms of production and territorial conquest. We spoke of the impact of the bomb on the homes and the hopes of men and women.
Philip Morrison, American Scientist (1915-2005)
If it awakens in us as a whole how important that is - the theme of how conquest and ambition are meaningless without contribution - I think then as a society we're in better shape. I hope people are inspired to be the best.
Rob Morrow, American Actor (1962-  )
Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for its conquest.
Friedrich Nietzsche, German Philosopher (1844-1900)
The positive testimony of history is that the State invariably had its origin in conquest and confiscation. No primitive State known to history originated in any other manner.
Albert J. Nock, American Philosopher (1870-1945)
Empires won by conquest have always fallen either by revolt within or by defeat by a rival.
John Boyd Orr, Scottish Politician (1880-1971)
In the last five or six thousand years, empires one after another have arisen, waxed powerful by wars of conquest, and fallen by internal revolution or attack from without.
John Boyd Orr, Scottish Politician (1880-1971)
When the tyrant has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty, and there is nothing more to fear from them, then he is always stirring up some war or other, in order that the people may require a leader.
Plato, Greek Philosopher
We find that the Romans owed the conquest of the world to no other cause than continual military training, exact observance of discipline in their camps, and unwearied cultivation of the other arts of war.
Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus, Roman Writer
Love, the quest; marriage, the conquest; divorce, the inquest.
Helen Rowland, American Writer
The object of war is victory; that of victory is conquest; and that of conquest preservation.
Charles de Secondat, French Philosopher (1689-1755)
A peace is of the nature of a conquest; for then both parties nobly are subdued, and neither party loser.
William Shakespeare, English Dramatist (1564-1616)
The true law of the race is progress and development. Whenever civilization pauses in the march of conquest, it is overthrown by the barbarian.
William Gilmore Simms, American Novelist
If conquest does not bind posterity, so neither can compact bind it.
Charlotte Smith, English Poet (1749-1806)
It is evident that in the period designated as that of the kings, when Rome commenced her career of conquest, she was, for that time and country, a great and wealthy city.
