Abraham Lincoln There's no honorable way to kill, no gentle way to destroy. There is nothing good in war. Except its ending.

Adolf Hitler This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future.

Ajahn Chah Reflections Looking for peace is like looking for a turtle with a mustache: You won't be able to find it. But when your heart is ready, peace will come looking for you.

Albert Einstein He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.

Albert Einstein Nor do I take into account a danger of starting a chain reaction of a scope great enough to destroy part or all of the planet?

Bonar Law There is no such thing as an inevitable war. If war comes, it will be from failure of human wisdom.

Buddha Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace.

Dale Turner Seattle Times, 1/11/03 Today the real test of America's power and wisdom is not our capacity to make war but our capacity to prevent it. Prevention must be our overriding objective. It can be done. Surrendering to the inevitability of combat only paves the way for its occurring.

David Borenstein One cannot subdue a man by holding back his hands. Lasting peace comes not from force.
