On war and peace from famousquotes.com and the Bible:

Robert E. Lee - “It is well that war is so terrible, or we should get too fond of it.”

General George Catlett Marshall - “Military power wins battles, but spiritual power wins wars.”

Francis Meehan - “Men are at war with each other because each man is at war with himself.”

Plato - “Only the dead have seen the end of the war.”

John Stuart Mill - “War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.”

Isaiah the prophet - For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end…

Guatama Buddha - “Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.”

Prophet Muhammad - “Shall I not inform you of a better act than fasting, alms, and prayers? Making peace between one another: enmity and malice tear up heavenly rewards by the roots.”

Jesus - “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.”

Abraham Lincoln - “... peace is a thing which a person must be willing to fight for ...”

Douglas Jerrold - “We love peace, but not peace at any price. There is a peace more destructive of the manhood of living man, than war is destructive to his body. Chains are worse than bayonets.”

Patrick Henry - “The gentlemen may cry, Peace, peace! But there is no peace. The war has actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that the gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”

Aristotle - “We make war that we might live in peace.”

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