"Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put
an end to mankind...War will exist until that distant day
when the conscientious objector enjoys the same
reputation and prestige that the warrior does today."
John F. Kennedy
"There was never a good war or a bad
peace."
Benjamin Franklin
"We should take care, in inculcating patriotism
into our
boys and girls, that is a patriotism above the narrow
sentiment which usually stops at one's country, and thus
inspires jealousy and enmity in dealing with others... Our
patriotism should be of the wider, nobler kind which
recognises justice and reasonableness in the claims of
others and which lead our country into comradeship
with...the other nations of the world. The first step to this
end is to develop peace and goodwill within our borders,
by training our youth of both sexes to its practice as their
habit of life, so that the jealousies of town against town,
class against class and sect against sect no longer exist;
and then to extend this good feeling beyond our frontiers
towards our neighbours."
Lord Baden-Powell

"One is left with the horrible feeling now that
war settles
nothing; that to win a war is as disastrous as to lose one."
Agatha Christie
For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
"An eye for an eye makes the whole world
blind."
Ghandi
