"We
live in a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants, in a world that has
achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience. We have solved
the mystery of the atom and forgotten the lessons of the Sermon on The Mount.
We know more about war than we know about peace, more about dying than we know
about living." - General Omar Nelson Bradley,
Armistice Day, 1948.
"You cannot talk like sane men
around a peace table while the atomic bomb itself is ticking beneath it. Do not
treat the atomic bomb as a weapon of offense; do not treat it as an instrument
of the police. Treat the bomb for what it is: the visible insanity of a
civilization that has ceased...to obey the laws of life." - Lewis
Mumford, 1946
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired
signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed,
those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money
alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists,
and the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true
sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross
of iron." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, April 16, 1953
"A country that has dangled the sword of nuclear holocaust over the world
for half a century and claims that someone else invented terrorism is a country
out of touch with reality"Praying for peace is like praying for a weedless
garden. Nothing will happen until you get your hands dirty." -John
K. Stoner, co-founder of Every Church A Peace Church
