| Quote:War - an act of violence whose object is to constrain the enemy, to accomplish our will.[George Washington] Quote:Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution.

It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man.[Mahatma Gandhi] Quote:All malice has injustice at it's end, an end achieved by violence or by fraud; while both are sins that earn the hate of heaven, since fraud belongs exclusively to man, God hates it more and, therefore, far below, the fraudulent are placed and suffer most.[Dante Alighieri] Quote:Football combines two of the worst things in American life.
