Love is like war: easy to begin but very hard to stop.

We must concentrate not merely on the negative expulsion of war but the postive affirmation of peace.

War is a poor chisel to carve out tomorrow.

It is not enough to say we must not wage war. It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it.
