The basic problems facing the world today are not susceptible to a military solution.

A coward is much more exposed to quarrels than a man of spirit.

It is understanding that gives us an ability to have peace. When we understand the other fellow’s viewpoint, and he understands ours, then we can sit down and work out our differences.

If there was less sympathy in the world, there would be less trouble in the world.

To jaw-jaw is always better than to war-war.

There was never a good war, or a bad peace.

Whenever you’re in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude.

Don’t create more enemies than you take out by some immoral act.

There are horrible people who, instead of solving a problem, tangle it up and make it harder to solve for anyone who wants to deal with it. Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.

All men hate the nagging.

Unless both sides win, no agreement can be permanent.

Connectivity just can’t be a privilege for people in the richest countries. We believe that connecting everyone in the world is one of the great challenges of our generation, and that’s why we are happy to play whatever small part in that that we can.

As long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist in our world, none of us can truly rest.

Sometimes if you want to get rid of the gun, you have to pick the gun up.

Clean fighting solves everything. It ends all bad blood and any ill feelings people have. That’s my thoughts.

Racism and injustice and violence sweep our world, bringing a tragic harvest of heartache and death.

Peace is not only better than war, but infinitely more arduous.

Maybe if everybody in leadership was a woman, you might not get into the conflicts in the first place. But if you watch the women who have made it to the top, they haven’t exactly been non-aggressive – including me.

The peasant must always be helped technically, economically, morally and culturally. The guerrilla fighter will be a sort of guiding angel who has fallen into the zone, helping the poor always and bothering the rich as little as possible in the first phases of the war.

You beat him verbally. You beat him mentally, and then finally, you beat him physically. That’s the three ways to beat a man.

It’s a lose-lose situation to get in a confrontation on the street. If you can break contact and get away, break contact and get away. That’s what you should learn self-defense for.

Even peace may be purchased at too high a price.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.

Politics are very much like war. We may even have to use poison gas at times.

As we dread any disease that undermines the health of the body, so should we deplore contention, which is a corroding canker of the spirit.

If you’re yelling you’re the one who’s lost control of the conversation.

Arguments are to be avoided: they are always vulgar and often convincing.

You will kill 10 of our men, and we will kill 1 of yours, and in the end it will be you who tire of it.

Remind yourself that winning an argument or proving your point really gets you nowhere in the long run. Win through your actions, not your words.

In my view of the present aspect of affairs, there is no need of bloodshed and war. There is no necessity for it. I am not in favor of such a course, and I may say in advance, there will be no blood shed unless it be forced upon the government. The government will not use force unless force is used against it.

The way to silence religious disputes is to take no notice of them.

The people of the world genuinely want peace. Some day the leaders of the world are going to have to give in and give it to them.

We can best help you to prevent war not by repeating your words and following your methods but by finding new words and creating new methods.

Law is always better than war.

Always remember that your calmness under fire is your best defense in any argument or discussion.

Quarrel? Nonsense; we have not quarreled. If one is not to get into a rage sometimes, what is the good of being friends?

Passive aggressors who are adept at this will have trained themselves to remain calm, while you get irritated and emotional.

Let us move from the era of confrontation to the era of negotiation.

I certainly would not like to end up in a tie-up with Ms. Rousey.

Those who can win a war well can rarely make a good peace and those who could make a good peace would never have won the war.

If you want peace, you don’t talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies.

Weakness on both sides is, as we know, the motto of all quarrels.

Sports are such a great teacher. I think of everything they’ve taught me: camaraderie, humility, how to resolve differences.

When we turn to one another for counsel we reduce the number of our enemies.

It is our duty still to endeavor to avoid war; but if it shall actually take place, no matter by whom brought on, we must defend ourselves. If our house be on fire, without inquiring whether it was fired from within or without, we must try to extinguish it.

The most intense conflicts, if overcome, leave behind a sense of security and calm that is not easily disturbed. It is just these intense conflicts and their conflagration which are needed to produce valuable and lasting results.

There can be no doubt that the average man blames much more than he praises. His instinct is to blame. If he is satisfied he says nothing; if he is not, he most illogically kicks up a row.

What is human warfare but just this; an effort to make the laws of God and nature take sides with one party.

No war is over until the enemy says it’s over.

Enemies are so stimulating.

I have known war as few men now living know it. It’s very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a means of settling international disputes.

War should be the politics of last resort. And when we go to war, we should have a purpose that our people understand and support.

I’ve never fought with anyone. A lot of people talk to me, and they’re like, ‚Oh, you would have been fighting all the time when you were younger,‘ but I’m like, ‚I never fought with anyone because I always knew that if I hurt myself, I might lose important time in my cricket career,‘ so I never got into any fight, ever in my life.

I’m not somebody that just wants to hold up a white flag and say, ‚Let’s all just get along.‘ I think people that do horrible things should be held accountable.

People generally quarrel because they cannot argue.

Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.

Free nations are peaceful nations. Free nations don’t attack each other. Free nations don’t develop weapons of mass destruction.

Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. As a peacemaker the lawyer has superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough.

An eye for an eye only leads to more blindness.

I just feel like, with rappers, there’s so much complacency. It’s like, ‚Oh, I’m a rapper. I’m successful. I make money. That’s all that matters.‘ But there’s a lot of stuff going on in the world. Whether or not you’re aware of it, it’s happening.

A quarrel is quickly settled when deserted by one party; there is no battle unless there be two.
