Thoughts for Sunday

No war is inevitable until it breaks out. - A. J. P. Taylor


I like to believe that people, in the long run, are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days government had better get out of their way and let them have it. - Dwight D. Eisenhower


We're not made by God to mass kill one another ... and that's backed up by the Gospel. Lying and war are always associated. Listen closely when you hear a war-maker try to defend his current war: If he moves his lips he's lying. - Philip Berrigan


Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living. We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon on the Mount. - Omar Bradley


It is the job of thinking people not to be on the side of the executioners. - Albert Camus


War itself is the enemy of the human race. - Howard Zinn
