“Lebanon was at one time known as a nation that rose above sectarian hatred; Beirut was known as the Paris of the Middle East. All of that was blown apart by senseless religious wars, financed and exploited in part by those who sought power and wealth. If women had been in charge, would they have been more sensible?

“We've been in the mountain of war. We've been in the mountain of violence. We've been in the mountain of hatred long enough. It is necessary to move on now, but only by moving out of this mountain can we move to the promised land of justice and brotherhood and the Kingdom of God. It all boils down to the fact that we must never allow ourselves to become satisfied with unattained goals. We must always maintain a kind of divine discontent.” KindLongWarEnoughFactsMovingGoalJusticeViolenceLandDivineMountainHatredSatisfiedKingdomsBrotherhoodKingdom Of GodDiscontentPromised LandMoving Out Author:Martin Luther King, Jr.
“Thus, it was to seek true civilization and true justice for all the peoples of the world, and to view this as the destruction of personal freedom and respect is to be assailed by the hatred and emotion of war, and to make hasty judgments.” WorldWarJusticeViewsEmotionCivilizationJudgmentRespectDestructionHatredPersonal FreedomHastyJustice For AllTrue Justice Author:Hideki Tojo
“In this era of non-judgmental mush, too many Americans have become incapable of facing the brutal reality of unprovoked hatred, based on envy, resentment and ultimately on a vicious urge to lash out against others for the pain of ones own insignificance.

“We're all sick of holy wars and bloodshed because religion is supposed to give us life and a better life and is supposed to bring out our best self.

“No war ought ever to be undertaken but under circumstances which render all intercourse of courtesy between the combatants impossible. It is a bad thing that men should hate each other; but it is far worse that they should contract the habit of cutting one another's throats without hatred. War is never lenient but where it is wanton; when men are compelled to fight in self-defence, they must hate and avenge: this may be bad; but it is human nature.” MenShouldHumansMayWarSelfHateFightingPeaceCuttingImpossibleHuman NatureOughtHabitCircumstancesHatredBad ThingsContractsThroatCompelledCourtesyDefenceIntercourseNo WarWantonSelf DefenceLenient Author:Thomas B.

“The source of peace is within us; so also the source of war. And the real enemy is within us, and not outside. The source of war is not the existence of nuclear weapons or other arms.
