It's better to build a peaceful child than re-build a violent adult.

Warmaking doesn't stop warmaking. If it did, our problems would have stopped millennia ago.

Wars aren't stopped by fighting wars, any more than you can fight fire with fire. You fight fire with water. You fight violence with nonviolence.

I'd rather teach peace.

Give peace a chance, yes, but why not get serious and give it a place in the curriculum: peace courses in every school, every grade, every nation. Unless we teach our children peace, someone else will teach them violence.

Forty-one rules aren't so many - St. Benedict had 73 to keep the brethren on the straight and narrow.

It's better to build a peaceful child than re-build a violent adult.
