Does War save lives or take them?
Someday I would love to meet
all my friends on line!
"What we need in the United States is not division!
What we need in the United States is not hatred!
What we need in the United States is not violence and lawlessness!
But is love, and wisdom and compasion toward one another."
-- Robert F. Kennedy
( Assinated June 5th, 1968 while campaigning for President )
"War may sometimes be a necessary evil.
But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good.
We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children."
--Jimmy Carter
( 39th President of the United States )
“Peace is much more precious than a piece of land...
let there be no more wars.â€
--Anwar Sadat (Egyptian army officer, president of Egypt (1970-1981), 1918-1981)
"The first peace, which is the most important,
is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship,
their oneness with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of the universe dwells the Great Spirit,
and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us".
-- Black Elk (1863-1950)
"More than an end to war, we want an end to the beginning of all wars --
yes, an end to this brutal, inhuman and thoroughly impractical method of settling the differences between governments."
-- Franklin Delano Roosevelt (January 30, 1882 – April 12, 1945)
"It isn't enough to talk about peace.
One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it.
One must work at it."
-- Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962)
"Forgive them Father!
For they know not what they do!"
- Jesus Christ

They are so unlike your Christ!"

"It is my conviction that killing
under the cloak of War is
nothing but an act of murder!"
- Albert Einstein
"You can no more win a war
than you can win an earthquake."
— Jeanette Rankin,

"Peace cannot be achieved through
violence, it can only be attained
through understanding."
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
"If we have no peace,
it is because we have
forgotten that we belong
to each other.
— Mother Teresa
"When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village
and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up
that day when all of God's children, Black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles,
Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual,
"FREE AT LAST! FREE AT LAST! THANK GOD ALMIGHTY, WE ARE FREE AT LAST!"
- Martin Luther King Jr.
"The only way human beings can
win a war is to prevent it."
- George C. Marshall, the only
U. S. Army General to ever receive
the Nobel Peace Prize

because no one can be at peace
unless he has his freedom."
- Malcolm X
"After my experience, I have come to hate war. I hate war as only a soldier
who has lived it can,
only as one who has seen its brutality,
its futility, its stupidity"
- Dwight D. Eisenhower
"No to war! War is not always inevitable.
It is always a defeat for humanity"

or war will put an end to mankind!"
- John F. Kennedy
"Strike against war, for without you
no battles can be fought!
Strike against preparedness that
means death and misery to millions
of human beings. Be not dumb,
obedient slaves in an army of
destruction. Be heroes in an
army of construction."
- Helen Keller
"Peace has never come from
dropping bombs. Real peace
comes from enlightenment
and educating people to
behave more in a divine manner."
- Carlos Santana
"Imagine there's no countries,
It isn't hard to do!
Nothing to kill or die for,
And no religion too!
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace!"
- John Lennon
