Excuse me, Could I have a Word......
We are living under the domination of the cultural legacies of times long past. The principle of national sovereignty is one of them; It derives from our ancestral concept of sacred territory to be defended at all costs. The grotesque and paranoid belief that our legitimate aspirations to security can be satisfied by ever more deadly armaments is another such relic.
Aurelio Peccei
Jaw-jaw is better than war-war.
Harold Macmillan
Peace in the world requires justice in the world.
Julius K. Nyerere
War is not a legitimate way of settling International disputes.

Anger is a brief lunacy.
Horace
Let not the sun go down upon your wrath.
New Testament
World problems should be settled by International agreements and the application of International law.
Linus Pauling
All living beings hate pain; therefore do not injure them or kill them. This is the essence of wisdom: not to kill anything.
Sutra Krit-anga
Violence is the policy of barbarians; non-violence is the policy of men.

F.D. Roosevelt
War is not an adventure. It is a disease.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
There is no real victory in wars. They kill so many people and destroy so much.
Kim Ren Ok
War violates the order of nature and causes parents to bury their children.
Herodotus
Science is telling us that we must have no lesser unit than the world. It is because we have been thinking in the outworn language of non-inclusion that disaster has overtaken us, for no country can live to itself alone, any more than the hand or foot can live alone.
Ruth Fry
A strong case can be made for the proposition that war is essentially a phenomenon of the age of civilisation and that it is inappropriate both to pre-civilized and post civilized societies. It represents an interlude in man's development dated 3000 B.C. to say 2000 A.D.
Kenneth Boulding
I can find peace wherever I am. I'm always surprised where I find God.
Carol God shall
The results of war are always identical, however good the intentions of the war makers and however 'collective' their actions. People are slaughtered and a passionate sense of wrong and a desire for vengeance are created in the survivors - feelings which make yet further wars inevitable.
Aldous Huxley
If the masses in all lands would refuse to manufacture arms there would be no war.
George Lansbury
The pioneers of a warless world are the young men who refuse military service.
Albert Einstein
Its always the old to lead us to war, its always the young to fall.
Phil Ochs
