Nothing good ever comes of violence.

If I hit a man, his head is gonna go into the bleachers.

A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best; but what he has said or done otherwise shall give him no peace.

An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.

Revenge, lust, ambition, pride, and self-will are too often exalted as the gods of man’s idolatry; while holiness, peace, contentment, and humility are viewed as unworthy of a serious thought.

When I was 18, I went to the Soviet Union. I kept hearing that America was planning to bomb them – lots of bombs were going to come down on these people. I went there not knowing anything, except that I thought the whole thing was stupid and that I wanted to see who these people were that we were going to bomb.

If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known, that we are at all times ready for War.

It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.

It is an unfortunate fact that we can secure peace only by preparing for war.

Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.

Many people feel so pressured by the expectations of others that it causes them to be frustrated, miserable and confused about what they should do. But there is a way to live a simple, joy-filled, peaceful life, and the key is learning how to be led by the Holy Spirit, not the traditions or expectations of man.

The deliberate and deadly attacks which were carried out yesterday against our country were more than acts of terror. They were acts of war.

A person should not be too honest. Straight trees are cut first and honest people are screwed first.

The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it.

The United States is not, and never will be, at war with Islam.

But does that mean that war and violence are inevitable? I would argue not because we have also evolved this amazingly sophisticated intellect, and we are capable of controlling our innate behavior a lot of the time.

I feel that sin and evil are the negative part of you, and I think it’s like a battery: you’ve got to have the negative and the positive in order to be a complete person.

A conqueror is always a lover of peace.

The unforgivable crime is soft hitting. Do not hit at all if it can be avoided; but never hit softly.

Watch out for the joy-stealers: gossip, criticism, complaining, faultfinding, and a negative, judgmental attitude.

The threat and use of violence is stimulating nuclear proliferation along with jihadi terrorism.

I see the world being slowly transformed into a wilderness; I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too. I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more.

By that sin fell the angels.

I resigned from the Marine Corps and flying in 1974, even though I loved them both. I quit because I no longer wanted to fight for peace. Instead, I believe we can build a more sustainable peace by working for prosperity.

So long as governments set the example of killing their enemies, private individuals will occasionally kill theirs.

Wars are not paid for in wartime, the bill comes later.

In the long term we can hope that religion will change the nature of man and reduce conflict. But history is not encouraging in this respect. The bloodiest wars in history have been religious wars.

We are not at war against Islam.

An unjust peace is better than a just war.

I believe in the religion of Islam. I believe in Allah and peace.

Fascism is not defined by the number of its victims, but by the way it kills them.

It is not enough to say we must not wage war. It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it.

At Real, psychological pressure on the players is much more serious than at United. This is good. At many clubs, you don’t know the consequence of playing badly.

The unjustifiable severity of a parent is loaded with this aggravation, that those whom he injures are always in his sight.

Remember upon the conduct of each depends the fate of all.

Justice… is a kind of compact not to harm or be harmed.

America is a Nation with a mission – and that mission comes from our most basic beliefs. We have no desire to dominate, no ambitions of empire. Our aim is a democratic peace – a peace founded upon the dignity and rights of every man and woman.

Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace. Money will come if we seek first the Kingdom of God – the rest will be given.

Though force can protect in emergency, only justice, fairness, consideration and cooperation can finally lead men to the dawn of eternal peace.

We can’t afford to be killing one another.

I grew up in the South under segregation. So, I know what terrorism feels like – when your father could be taken out in the middle of the night and lynched just because he didn’t look like he was in an obeying frame of mind when a white person said something he must do. I mean, that’s terrorism, too.

More than an end to war, we want an end to the beginning of all wars – yes, an end to this brutal, inhuman and thoroughly impractical method of settling the differences between governments.

I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.

What were once only hopes for the future have now come to pass; it is almost exactly 13 years since the overwhelming majority of people in Ireland and Northern Ireland voted in favour of the agreement signed on Good Friday 1998, paving the way for Northern Ireland to become the exciting and inspirational place that it is today.

Perhaps if you are in support functions waiting on the warfighters to spell out the specifics of what you are to do, you can avoid the consequences of not reading. Those who must adapt to overcoming an independent enemy’s will are not allowed that luxury.

Intolerance is itself a form of violence and an obstacle to the growth of a true democratic spirit.

Peace is not absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means.

There will be no lasting peace either in the heart of individuals or in social customs until death is outlawed.

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

How oft the sight of means to do ill deeds makes ill deeds done!

Where there is righteousness in the heart, there is harmony in the house; when there is harmony in the house, there is order in the nation; when there is order in the nation, there is peace in the world.

He that would live in peace and at ease must not speak all he knows or all he sees.

Bad seed is a robbery of the worst kind: for your pocket-book not only suffers by it, but your preparations are lost and a season passes away unimproved.

The United States fully accepts the profound truth that our own progress, prosperity, and peace are interlocked with the progress, prosperity, and peace of all humanity.

In any decision for action, when you have to make up your mind what to do, there is always a ‚should‘ involved, and this cannot be worked out from, ‚If I do this, what will happen?‘ alone.

We live in ugly times.

I am at peace with God. My conflict is with Man.

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

If the great American people will only keep their temper, on both sides of the line, the troubles will come to an end, and the question which now distracts the country will be settled just as surely as all other difficulties of like character which have originated in this government have been adjusted.

It’s what counts, isn’t it, on the Sunday, rather than pre-season testing. If you lock up, you do a little mistake, it’s nothing, but if you do it on Sunday, you lose a place or you have to box for a flat spot or something like that. It’s a much bigger problem.

Resistance is feasible even for those who are not heroes by nature, and it is an obligation, I believe, for those who fear the consequences and detest the reality of the attempt to impose American hegemony.
