Title	Security for Europe Through Cooperation: Counter-Project to a Policy of Intervention
URL	http://www.sef-bonn.org/inc/sef.txt.in...
Description	This paper argues that "a permanent comprehensive and stable security among different states and peoples cannot be achieved by means of wars, military interventions or any other forms of exercising power - in short: through interventionist policies. If security is meant to last it may be developed only through peaceful cooperation, by a balance of power and the unification of states and peoples - in short: through a policy of cooperation." - WEB Site

Peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of creative alternatives for responding to conflict -- alternatives to passive or aggressive responses, alternatives to violence.

- Dorothy Thompson

He took over anger to intimidate subordinates, and in time anger took over him.

- Milan Kundera

Mankind will never win lasting peace so long as men use their full resources only in tasks of war. While we are yet at peace, let us mobilize...the moral and spiritual potentialities...which we usually reserve for war.

- John Foster Dulles

Men are so accustomed to maintaining external order by violence that they cannot conceive of life being possible without violence.

- Leo Tolstoy

Disappointment, failure, and frustration are the main agents of change. Success is a poor teacher, for it usually only confirms us in what we thought we already knew.

- Kenneth Boulding

I'm not really interested in persuading people, I don't want to and I try to make this point obvious. What I'd like to do is to help people persuade themselves.

- Noam Chomsky

Nonviolence means avoiding not only external physical violence but also internal violence of spirit. You not only refuse to shoot a man, but you refuse to hate him.

- Martin Luther King, Jr.

There is no time left for anything but to make peace work a dimension of our every waking activity.

- Elise Boulding

While seeking revenge, dig two graves -- one for yourself.

To know what is right and not to do it is the worst cowardice.

- Confucius

When we yield to discouragement it is usually because we give too much thought to the past and to the future.

- Therese of Lisieux

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction.

- Albert Einstein

Beneath the rule of men entirely great, the pen is mightier than the sword.

- Edward George Bulwer-Lytton

Very few people chose war. They chose selfishness and the result was war. Each of us, individually and nationally, must choose: total love or total war.

- Dave Dellinger
