“The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it"
-George Orwell
"Nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle
won."
-Duke Of Wellington 1759-1852
"More than an end to war, we want an end to the beginning of all wars --
yes, an end to this brutal, inhuman and thoroughly impractical method of
settling the differences between governments."
-Franklin D. Roosevelt.
"Peace is not only better than war, but infinitely more arduous"
-George Bernard Shaw
"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
"I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to
promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want
peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of
the way and let them have it."
-Dwight D. Eisenhower
"The best way to destroy an enemy is to make him a friend."
-Abraham Lincoln
"There is no way to peace. Peace is the way."
-A.J. Muste.
"War makes good history but peace is poor reading."
-Thomas Hardy
"I would say that I'm a nonviolent soldier. In place of weapons of
violence, you have to use your mind, your heart, your sense of humor,
every faculty available to you...because no one has the right to take
the life of another human being."
-Joan Baez
