The past is prophetic in that it asserts loudly that wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.

Wars are expensive and dangerous. They're not political winners.

Peace is much more precious than a piece of land... let there be no more wars.

Most wars, after all, present themselves as humanitarian endeavors to help people.

War is not civilized.

Wars are, of course, as a rule to be avoided; but they are far better than certain kinds of peace.

Making peace is harder than making war.

It is far easier to make war than peace.

First of all, war is a very, very difficult thing to deal with, even on the good days.

War makes thieves and peace hangs them.
