- Ammon Hennacy
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

- Gerard Vanderhaar
Can I see another's woe, and not be in sorrow too? Can I see another's grief, and not seek for kind relief?
- William Blake

- Charles DeGaulle
In the absence of justice, what is sovereignty but organized robbery?
- Augustine of Hippo
Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please.
- Mark Twain
If it were proved to me that in making war, my ideal had a chance of being realized, I would still say "No" to war. For one does not create human society on mounds of corpses.
- Louis Lecoin
Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding.
- Albert Einstein
The first principle of non-violent action is that of non-cooperation with everything humiliating.
- Cesar Chavez
When men talk about defense, they always claim to be protecting women and children, but they never ask the women and children what they think.
