| May Peace Prevail On Earth |
|
All things are connected. Whatever befalls the earth
befalls the sons and daughters of the earth.

| Natural selection has taken great care that
conflict between wild animals of the same species shall rarely be pushed
to the fatal conclusion, but the conflict between so-called civilised,
religious and highly intelligent human beings is quite the contrary. |
Man and His Planet
"What is our relationship with the planet
? what are we doing with the world on which we are living and how
are we treating it ? How is it likely to treat us if we go on treating
it as we we are now ?"
from Aldous Huxley's "The Human Situation"

`Les forêts p
récèdent les peuples, et les déserts les suivent' (forests proceeds
civilisations and deserts follow them.)
Chateaubriand

"Actually, a man who wants peace, who sees the necessity of
being peaceful, has no ideal about peace. He does not make an effort
to become peaceful, but sees the necessity, the truth of being peaceful."
"You will not have peace because you do not want peace, you
are not interested in it, you do not see the importance, the necessity
of having peace now, not tomorrow. It is only when you have no reason
for being peaceful that you will have peace."
J. Krishnamurti, Source: KFI -USA

War
and Peace
"Weapons are tools of destruction hated by people.
Therefore followers of the Way never use them.
In peace leaders favor the creative left.
In war they favor the destructive right.
Weapons are tools of destruction,
not used by good leaders.
When their use cannot be avoided,
the best policy is calm restraint.

Peace
"States are governed by justice.
Wars are waged by violations.
The world is mastered by nonintervention.
How do I know this? By this:
the more restrictions there are, the poorer the people;
the more sharp weapons, the more trouble in the state;
the more clever cunning, the more contrivances;
the more rules and regulations, the more thieves and robbers."

Even in victory there is no glory.
Those who celebrate victory delight in slaughter.
Those who delight in slaughter
will not be successful leaders.
Fortune is on the left;
Misfortune is on the right.
That is to regard it as a funeral.
The killing of many should be mourned with sorrow.
A victory should be celebrated with funeral ceremonies" |
Lao-zu,
from "DAO DE JING"
(English version by Sanderson Beck )

"The best people live in the center of harmony.
The worst people act contrary to the center of harmony. The
best people live harmoniously,
because they always maintain the center.
The worst people act contrary to harmony,
because they are not aware of the center."
Confucius
(English version by Sanderson Beck )

"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already
earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake,
since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace
to civilization should be done away with at once".
"Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country
stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and
ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a
part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing
under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."
Albert Einstein
