May one day world be a better place to live in...



In such a world of conflict, a world of victims and executioners, it is the job of thinking people, not to be on the side of the executioners.
"Albert Camus"


We make war that we may live in peace!
"Aristotle"


Can anything be stupider than that a man has the right to kill me because he lives on the other side of a river and his ruler has a quarrel with mine, though I have not quarrelled with him?
"Blaise Pascal"


In peace the sons bury their fathers, but in war the fathers bury their sons.
"Croesus"


The direct use of force is such a poor solution to any problem, it is generally employed only by small children and large nations.
"David Friedman"


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 are not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.
"Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953"


There is no trust more sacred than the one the world holds with children. There is no duty more important than ensuring that their rights are respected, that their welfare is protected, that their lives are free from fear and want and that they grow up in peace.
"Kofi Annan"


Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding.
"Albert Einstein"


It is possible to live in peace.
"Mahatma Gandhi"


There is no way to peace; peace is the way.
"A.J. Muste"


Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defenses of peace must be constructed.
"UNESCO Constitution"
