-Martin Luther King, Jr.

-Thomas Merton

Peace is more important than all justice; and peace was not made for the sake of justice, but justice for the sake of peace.
-Martin Luther (1483-1546)
At some ideas you stand perplexed, especially at the sight of human sins, uncertain whether to combat it by force or by human love. Always decide, "I will combat it with human love." If you make up your mind about that once and for all, you can conquer the whole world. Loving humility is a terrible force; it is the strongest of all things and there is nothing like it.
-Dostoyevsky
Mankind must remember that peace is not God's gift to his creatures, peace is our gift to each other.
-Elie Wiesel
All we are saying is give peace a chance.
-John Lennon
