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.

Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron. - Dwight Eisenhower

When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. - Jimi Hendrix

The god of Victory is said to be one-handed, but Peace gives victory to both sides. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

The real and lasting victories are those of peace, and not of war. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
