**Full View Please** (Disclaimer: not all of these quotes depict my personal views on war/peace, but I have included them to get people thinking, so no personal attacks please! ). The line between war/oppression and peace may be finer than one would like to think.
Food for thought:
- We make war that we may live in peace. Aristotle
- I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent. Mohandas K. Gandhi
- All who affirm the use of violence admit it is only a means to achieve justice and peace. But peace and justice are nonviolence... Andre Trocme:
- Peace is not only better than war, but infinitely more arduous. George Bernard Shaw
- "The best way to destroy an enemy is to make him a friend." Abraham Lincoln
- Religion and science both profess peace (and the sincerity of the professors is not being doubted), but each always turns out to have a dominant part in any war that is going or contemplated. Howard Nemerov
- . . . I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality. Martin Luther King, Jr.
- Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. John F. Kennedy
- War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children. Jimmy Carter
- I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it." Dwight D. Eisenhower

This is very good and a wonderfully executed idea. I actually have a necklace thats a heart and a hand peace sign, so this has given me a small idea with it.
