“If you don’t like the way the world is, you change it. You have an obligation to change it. You just do it one step at a time.
-- Marian Wright Edelman

Finally not only economists and ecologists are talking together, but people who are interested in peace are beginning to understand that the environment is a big chunk of [international] security, that population is a big chunk of security.
-- Paul Ehrlich

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction.

-- Albert Einstein

"There's been a quantum leap technologically in our age, but unless there's another quantum leap in human relations, unless we learn to live in a new way towards one another, there will be a catastrophe."
-- Albert Einstein

“The splitting of the atom has changed everything except the way we think. Thus we drift toward unparalleled catastrophe. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive.”
-- Albert Einstein

"Perfection of means and confusion of goals seem to characterize our age. If we desire sincerely and passionately the safety, the welfare and the free development of the talents of all men, we shall not be in want of the means to approach such a state."
-- Albert Einstein

"In the goodness of time, all peoples will come to live together in a peace guaranteed by the binding force of mutual respect and love."
-- Dwight D. Eisenhower

-- Dwight D. Eisenhower

Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

We must apply our humble efforts to the construction of a more just and humane world. And I want to declare emphatically: Such a world is possible. To create this new society, we must present outstretched and friendly hands, without hatred and rancor, even as we show great determination and never waver in the defense of truth and justice. Because we know that we cannot sow seeds with clenched fists. To sow we must open our hands.
-- Adolfo Perez Esquivel

We have thought of peace as the passive and war as the active way of living. The opposite is true. War is not the most strenuous life. It is a kind of rest-cure compared to the task of reconciling our differences.
-- M. P. Follett

Even peace may be purchased at too high a price.
-- Benjamin Franklin

* There was never a good war or a bad peace.
-- Benjamin Franklin

"The making of peace is a continuing process that must go on from day to day, from year to year, so long as our civilization shall last."
-- J. William Fulbright

Either war is obsolete, or men are.
-- R. Buckminster Fuller

* Everywhere we turn, we see violence and hate and prejudice and anger and all of these negative emotions that are destroying humanity. And we have to wake up and take note of this and try to change our course, so that we can create a world of peace and harmony where future generations can live happily together.
-- Arun Gandhi
