Peace will come when there is realization that only under a reign of law, based on righteousness and supported by the religious conviction of the brotherhood of man, can there be any hope of a complete and satisfying life. Parchment will fail, the sword will fail, it is only the spiritual nature of man that can be triumphant.
CALVIN COOLIDGE
Inaugural Address, March 4, 1925
Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.
GEORGE CARLIN

Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion! Shout for joy, daughter of Jerusalem for your king is coming just and victorious, humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt. No more chariots in Ephraim. No more horses in Jerusalem for he will do away with them. The warrior's bow shall be broken when he dictates peace to the nation. He will reign from sea to sea and from the river to the ends of the earth.
BIBLE
Zechariah 9:9-10
Sooner or later all the people of the world will have to discover a way to live together in peace, and thereby transform this pending cosmic elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood. If this is to be achieved, man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.
MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
Nobel Prize acceptance speech, December 10, 1964
