Peace of Mind

For my next few posts, I would like to share some quotes from others about peace. It is important to look at other people's views, good and bad. We must do so in order to really determine how we, ourselves, feel about the issue. If you have a quote you would like to share, or would like to share your reactions and opinions about peace, please feel free to do so!! 
Today's topic is War.

The real and lasting victories are those of peace, and not of war. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson


Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. ~attributed to Benjamin Franklin


I dream of giving birth to a child who will ask, "Mother, what was war?" ~Eve Merriam


There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people. ~Howard Zinn


Flags are bits of colored cloth that governments use first to shrink-wrap people's brains and then as ceremonial shrouds to bury the dead. ~Arundhati Roy


Nonviolence doesn't always work-but violence never does. ~Madge Micheels-Cyrus
