John KennedyIn my view of the present aspect of affairs, there is no need of bloodshed and war. There is no necessity for it.

H. L. MenckenIf you go on with this nuclear arms race, all you are going to do is make the rubble bounce.

Martin Luther King, Jr.I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace.
