"War and crime never pay. The billions of dollars that went up in the smoke of explosive nothingness would have been sufficient to have made a new world, one almost free from disease and completely free from poverty. Not an earth of fear, chaos, famine, pestilence...but one broad land of peace, prosperity and widening knowledge. Let nations ally themselves no longer with death, but with life; not with destruction, but with construction; not with hate, but with the creative miracles of love."

"If loss of life becomes necessary in a righteous battle, one should be prepared, like Jesus, to shed his own, not other's blood. Eventually there will be less blood spilt in the world."  
--Ghandi (both)

"Though the works of the human race disappear tracelessly by time or bomb, the sun does not falter in its course; the stars keep their invariable vigil. Cosmic law cannot be stayed or changed and man would do well to put himself in harmony with it....Not cruelty but goodwill upholds the universal sinews; [and] a humanity at peace will know the endless fruits of victory, sweeter to the taste than any nurtured on the soil of blood."
--P. Yogananda
