Re: Can There be Peace Without War?
Some passages that really struck a cord with me...
Quote:
|
And for as long as men will remain men, there will be men who pray on others, and men who must study the arts of war and killing in order to resist them.
|
Quote:
|
Because as long as violence remains within human nature, and as long as it represents an effective tool for conquest, dominance and acquisition-- we must not only know war, but be the best at it that we can be. …where there are sheep without sheepdogs, there will soon be shepherds to rule them or wolves to prey on them.
