War ends when the remaining survivors prefer peace.<\/strong> \u00a0\u00a0 Anon.<\/em><\/p>\n

We must concentrate not merely on the negative expulsion of war but the positive affirmation of peace.<\/strong>
\nWars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.<\/strong>
\nThe principle of self-defence, even involving weapons and bloodshed, has never been condemned, even by Gandhi.<\/strong>
\nNon-violence is a powerful and just weapon which cuts without wounding and ennobles the man who wields it. It is a sword that heals.<\/strong>
\nWe have guided missiles and misguided men.<\/strong>
\nMartin Luther King Jr<\/em><\/p>\n

An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.<\/strong>
\nThat old law about ‘an eye for an eye’ leaves everybody blind.<\/strong>
\nMahatma Gandhi<\/em> and Martin Luther King Jr<\/em><\/p>\n

The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sun Tzu<\/p>\n

Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.<\/strong>
\nSun Tzu<\/em><\/p>\n

Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime.<\/strong>
\nErnest Hemingway<\/em><\/p>\n

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.<\/strong>
\nDwight D. Eisenhower<\/em><\/p>\n

War does not determine who is right – only who is left.<\/strong>
\nBertrand Russell<\/em><\/p>\n

If things don’t change they’ll stay the same.<\/strong>
\nH<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Peace cannot be kept by force.\u00a0 It can only be achieved by understanding.<\/strong>
\nAlbert Einstein<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

Peace is not only better than war, but infinitely more arduous.<\/strong>
\nGeorge Bernard Shaw<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

There is no way to peace.\u00a0 Peace is the way.<\/strong>
\nA J Muste<\/i><\/p>\n

Well, fancy giving money to the Government!<\/strong>
\n Might as well have put it down the drain.<\/strong>
\n Fancy giving money to the Government!<\/strong>
\n Nobody will see the stuff again.<\/strong>
\n Well, they\u2019ve no idea what money\u2019s for \u2014<\/strong>
\n Ten to one they\u2019ll start another war.<\/strong>
\n I\u2019ve heard a lot of silly things, but, Lor\u2019!<\/strong>
\n Fancy giving money to the Government!<\/strong>
\nA.P. Herbert <\/em><\/p>\n

A time will come when a politician who has wilfully made war and promoted international dissension will be as sure of the dock and much surer of the noose than a private homicide.\u00a0 It is not reasonable that those who gamble with men\u2019s lives should not stake their own.<\/strong>
\nH. G. Wells<\/em><\/p>\n

If we don\u2019t end war, war will end us.<\/strong>
\nH. G. Wells<\/em><\/p>\n

War doesn\u2019t fix war.\u00a0 It\u2019s not wrong if someone gives up \u2014 he\u2019s not actually losing, he\u2019s saving people\u2019s lives.<\/strong>
\nMohammed Morshed<\/i><\/p>\n

I think there has to be a political solution.\u00a0 All wars have to end in some kind of political compromise.\u00a0 Why not start with a political compromise now rather than fuelling the war by putting more weapons, more arms and more money into the conflict.
\n<\/strong>Jeremy Corbyn<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

To jaw-jaw is always better than to war-war.<\/strong>
\nWinston Churchill<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

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.<\/strong>
\nDwight D. Eisenhower<\/em><\/p>\n

Of course, the people don\u2019t want war.\u00a0 It is the leaders who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a parliament or a communist dictatorship.\u00a0 The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.\u00a0 That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.<\/strong>
