Establishing lasting peace is the work of education all politics can do is keep us out of war.

Experience has shown how deeply the seeds of war are planted by economic rivalry and social injustice.

War settles nothing.

Empathy is really the opposite of spiritual meanness. It's the capacity to understand that every war is both won and lost. And that someone else's pain is as meaningful as your own.

A man who says that no patriot should attack the war until it is over... is saying no good son should warn his mother of a cliff until she has fallen.
