Quote

I don't oppose all wars. What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war.

I am opposed to war, to killing people, to any kind of hatred and violence.

War itself is the enemy of the human race.

I hate war. Absolutely, I hate war.

War's not black and white; it's gray. If you don't fight in the gray area, you're going to lose.

We have the purveyors of hatred who take every single incident between people of two races and try to make a race war out of it and drive wedges into people. And this does not need to be done.

All we ask is that we have peace with the whites. We want to hold you by the hand. You are our father.

I think that Americans - and this is not true just now, but over the years - are not fundamentally opposed to war. They're fundamentally opposed to losing wars.
