Imagine all the people
living life in peace.






You may say I'm a dreamer,
but I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you'll join us,
and the world will live as one.

- John Lennon
The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate.... Returning violence for violence multiples violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

We have war when at least one of the parties to a conflict wants something more than it wants peace.
Jeane J. Kirkpatrick

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.
- President Dwight D. Eisenhower
April 16, 1953

Death has a tendency to encourage a depressing view of war.
Donald Rumsfeld
Let There Be Peace on Earth and let it begin with me.
Let There Be Peace on Earth, the peace that was meant to be!
With God as our Father, brothers all are we.
Let me walk with my brother in perfect harmony.
Let peace begin with me. Let this be the moment now.
With ev'ry breath I take, let this be my solemn vow;
To take each moment and live each moment in peace eternally!
Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me!

Sy Miller and Bill Jackson, 1955

Never doubt that a small group
of thoughtful, committed people
can change the world.
Indeed, it is the only thing
that ever has.

Margaret Mead
