War does not determine who is right - only who is left.
- Bertrand Russell
Nothing that is morally wrong can be politically right.
- William E. Gladstone
Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages.
- Thomas Edison
War is, at first, the hope that one will be better off; next, the expectation that the other fellow will be worse off; then, the satisfaction that he isn't any better off; and, finally, the surprise at everyone's being worse off.
- Karl Kraus
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The ugliest is that man who thinks nothing is worth fighting and dying for and lets men better and braver than himself protect him.
- John Stuart Mill
Any city, however small, is in fact divided into two, one the city of the poor, the other of the rich; these are at war with one another.
- Plato
Whenever I hear any one arguing for slavery I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.
- Abraham Lincoln
Murder and capital punishment are not opposites that cancel one another, but similars that breed their kind. It is the deed that teaches not the name we give it.
- George Bernard Shaw
The point of nonviolence is to build...a strong new floor, beneath which we can no longer sink...a few feet above napalm, torture, exploitation, poison gas, A and H bombs, the works. Give man a decent place to stand.
- Joan Baez
Peace demands the most heroic labor and the most difficult sacrifice. It demands greater heroism than war. It demands greater fidelity to the truth and a much more perfect purity of conscience.
- Thomas Merton
You can out-distance that which is running after you, but not what is running inside you.
- Rwandan Proverb
Any city, however small, is in fact divided into two, one the city of the poor, the other of the rich; these are at war with one another.
- Plato
There is no way to peace. Peace is the way.
- A.J. Muste
I have invented something which...I have been calling "Senesh's Law" -- That if you can't teach it to the second grade it probably isn't true.
- Kenneth Boulding
Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict.
