Duke of Wellington Country Quotations

A great country cannot wage a little war.

I am not only not prepared to bring forward any measure of this nature, but I will at once declare that, as far as I am concerned, as long as I hold any station in the Government of the country, I shall always feel it my duty to resist such measures when proposed by others.

A great country ought not to make little wars.

A great country can have no such thing as a little war.
