You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist.
--Indira Gandhi
You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake.
--Jeanette Rankin
Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.
--Marie Curie
Reconciliation should be accompanied by justice, otherwise it will
not last. While we all hope for peace it shouldn't be peace at any
cost but peace based on principle, on justice.
--Corazon Aquino
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature...
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
--Helen Keller
The liberated woman is not that modern doll who wears make-up
and tasteless clothes.... The liberated woman is a person who
believes that she is as human as a man. The liberated woman does
not insist on her freedom so as to abuse it.
--Ghada Samman, Syrian writer, 1961
World peace is us.... We are each walking agents of the vision of
peace we carry inside us.
--Kathleen Vande Kieft
Mahatma Gandhi
A brilliant spirit who led India to freedom
from British rule using non-violent methods.

The pure love of one person can offset the hatred of thousands.
--Mahatma Gandhi
An eye for an eye and pretty soon the whole world will be blind.
--Mahatma Gandhi
You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
--Mahatma Gandhi
An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied
propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody will
see it.
--Mahatma Gandhi
Power is of two kinds:
One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of
love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and
permanent than the one derived from fear of punishment.
--Mahatma Gandhi
Gandhi:
THE SEVEN SOCIAL EVILS
Wealth Without Work
Pleasure Without Conscience
Knowledge Without Character
Commerce Without Morality
Science Without Humanity
Worship Without Sacrifice
Politics Without Principles.
Saint Francis of Assisi:
PRAYER
Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace!
That where there is hatred, I may bring love.
That where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness.
That where there is discord, I may bring harmony.
That where there is error, I may bring truth.
That where there is doubt, I may bring faith.
That where there is despair, I may bring hope.
That where there are shadows, I may bring light.
That where there is sadness, I may bring joy.
Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort, than to be comforted.
To understand, than to be understood.
To love, than to be loved.
For it is by self-forgetting that one finds.
It is by forgiving that one is forgiven.
It is by dying that one awakens to Eternal Life.
Albert Einstein
“The pioneers of a warless world are the young men and women
who refuse military service.” “I know not with what weapons
World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with
sticks and stones.”
“We must be prepared to make heroic sacrifices for the cause of
peace that we make ungrudgingly for the cause of war. There is no
task that is more important or closer to my heart.”
"Nothing that I can do will change the structure of the universe.
But maybe, by raising my voice I can help the greatest of all
causes - goodwill among men and peace on earth."
Martin Luther King Jr.
“The means by which we live have outdistanced the ends for
which we live. Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power.
We have guided missiles and misguided men.”
"If you succumb to the temptation of using violence in the
struggle, unborn generations will be the recipients of a long and
desolate night of bitterness, and your chief legacy to the future will
be an endless reign of meaningless chaos.”
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are
caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single
garment of destiny.”
Mother Theresa
“Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be
extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired.”
"We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with
great love.”
"Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted
according to the graces we have received and let us not be
ashamed or slow to do the humble work.”
“Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.”
“If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we
belong to each other.”
Various Peace Type People
"Turn on to politics or politics will turn on you"
-Ralph Nader
"In the interests of the ruling class we are taught that there is no
ruling class"
- Aaron Bonifield
"Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to
mankind... War will exist until that distant day when the
conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige
that the warrior does today."
John F. Kennedy
“A country which has dangled the sword of nuclear holocaust
over the world for half a century and claims that someone else
invented terrorism is a country out of touch with reality.”
John K. Stoner
"Non-violence is not inaction. It is not discussion. It is not for the
timid or weak. Non-violence is hard work. It is the willingness to
sacrifice. It is the patience to win."
Cesar Chavez
“The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of
great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.”
Dante
"Peace is the work of justice indirectly, insofar as it removes the
obstacles for peace, but it is the work of charity directly, since
charity, according to its very nature causes peace"
Thomas Aquinas
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket
fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger
and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed."
Dwight D. Eisenhower
“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he
does not become a monster. And when you look into an abyss, the
abyss also looks into you.”
Friedrich Nietzche
“If we don't stop the bomb who will take care of the flowers?"
