This
question of whether violence or law shall prevail
between states is the most vital of the problems
of our eventful era, and the most serious in
its repercussions. The beneficial result of
a secure world peace are almost inconceivable,
but even more inconceivable are the consequences
of the threatening world war which many misguided
people are prepared to precipitate. The advocates
of pacifism are well aware how meager are their
resources of personal influence and power. They
know that they are still few in number and weak
in authority, but when they realistically consider
themselves and the ideal they serve, they see
themselves as the servants of the greatest of
all causes.
-- Bertha von
Suttner

"The
greatness of nations is shown by their strict
regard for human rights, rigid enforcement of
the law without bias, and just administration
of the affairs of life.”

"World
federalists hold before us the vision of a unified
mankind living in peace under a just world order.
The heart of their program - a world under law
- is realistic and attainable."
~ U Thant |
"A
federation of all humanity, together with a sufficient
measure of social justice, to ensure health, education,
and a rough equality of opportunity to most of
the children born into the world, would mean such
a release and increase of human energy as to open
a new phase in human history."
-- H.G.
Wells |

The
shallow consider liberty a release from all law,
from every constraint. The wise see in it, on
the contrary, the potent Law of Laws.
-- Walt Whitman

“I
hope people will not think we are encouraging
people to break the law. But our actions should
teach people, and children, to scrutinize laws
against human life, and they should be broken
to prove a point.”
-- Barbara
