On Motherhood and Peace
"We women of one country will be too tender of those of another country to allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs."
~Julia Ward Howe
"I dream of giving birth to a child who will ask,
'Mother, what was war?'"
~Eve Merriam
“We – women – should picket everything…. Women remind me of the cows on our ranch in Montana. A cow has a calf and after a while some man comes along and takes the calf away. She bawls for a while, then goes on and has another calf. If we had 10,000 women willing to go to prison that would end the war. We’ve had 10,000 women sit back and let their sons be killed.”
~Jeannette Rankin
“If a nation sends boys halfway around the world to be shot, can you blame a few little boys for throwing stones?”
~Jeannette Rankin
"This business of burning human beings with napalm, of filling our nation's homes with orphans and widows, of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into veins of peoples normally humane, of sending men home from dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged, cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love."
~Martin Luther King
“I find it strange that the last place I can really quote Jesus these days is in American churches. They don’t want to hear `overcome evil with good.’ They don’t want to hear `those who live by the sword die by the sword.’ They don’t want to hear `if your enemy hurts you, do good, feed, clothe, minister to him.’ They don’t want to hear `blessed are the merciful.’ They don’t want to hear `love your enemies.’” Tony Campolo, on the war effort, Christian Week Nov. 27, 2001
"It may well be that the greatest tragedy of this period of social change is not the glaring noisiness of the so-called bad people, but the silence of the so-called good people."
~Martin Luther King
"War is as outmoded as cannibalism, chattel slavery, blood-feuds, and dueling, an insult to God and humanity...a daily crucifixion of Christ." ~Benjamin Franklin
“We kind o’ thought Christ went agin war an’ pillage.”
~James Russell Lowell
"I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians.
Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."
~Mahatma Gandhi
"You have heard it said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' But I tell you, do not resist an evil person, but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also."
~Jesus
But I tell you, love your enemies,
do good to those who hate you.
~Jesus

Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind...War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today."

of killing innocent people."
