Indeed, whenever a new idea is developed, as for example ballooning, warfare immediately takes possession.

Waging war we understand, but not waging peace, or at any rate less consciously so.

By a great man, however, we mean a man who, because of his spiritual gifts, his character, and other qualities, deserves to be called great and who as a result earns the power to influence others.

A sign that a peace association is going adrift is its exclusion of other political parties, with whom it could collaborate effectively on most of the problems besetting the cause of peace.

Pacifists should stress more and more that it is the rule of law for which they are fighting.

Warfare has been marvelously developed. It will soon be impossible to raise it to further heights.

But I feel convinced, and I venture even to prophesy in this regard, that the time will come when there will also be a minister of peace in the cabinet, seated beside the ministers of war.

Always we must bear in mind that law has to be substituted for power, that care must be taken to serve the interests of law.

The interparliamentary conference should, in my opinion, direct its particular attention to the preparation of the next Hague Conference, the diplomatic conference, the conference of governments.

Funny how a little sleep, a little makeup, and a lot of contemplating can make you feel like a different person - a stronger version of yourself.

When I'm in a couple, I feel I'm disappearing, dying - losing my mind.

Religious discrimination is not like racial discrimination. One you chose for yourself, the other God chose for you.

This is a grave. There is no honor here in broken tools and old bones, only in the deeds of our children.

An Edwardian lady in full dress was a wonder to behold, and her preparations for viewing were awesome.

Man, just believe in yourself, be able to dream, and know that there's going to be valleys and peaks. Always stay centered, and know that God is the key, the beginning and end of everything you do.

Hold on to the love, not the loss.

My first paid acting job was a movie called Fandango. It also starred Kevin Costner.

Unhappily, no man exists who has not in his own person become, to some amount, a stockholder in the sin, and so made himself liable to a share in the expiation.

I realize that I will never fully understand the millions of bizarre ways that music brings people together.
