How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single
moment before starting to improve the world.
~*~Anne Frank~*~
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for
good men to do nothing.
~*~Edmund Bourke~*~
Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end
to mankind.
~*~President John F. Kennedy~*~
Our lives begin to end, the day we become silent about
things that matter.
~*~Dr. Martin Luther King, Jnr.~*~
Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do
that. The chain of evil - hate begetting hate, wars producing
more wars - must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the abyss of
annihilation.
~*~Dr Martin Luther King, Jnr.~*~
Peace is not the absence of conflict but the ability to
cope with it.

La violencia es el miedo a las ideas de los
demás y la poca fe en las propias.
(Violence is the fear
of the ideas of others, and little faith in one's own.)
~*~Antonio Fraguas~*~
In Germany they came first for the Communists and I
didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews and I didn't speak up
because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't
speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics and I didn't speak up
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me--and by that time no one was left
to speak up.

The
Peace
Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi
Lord, make me an instrument of Your Peace.
Where there is hatred let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there
is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy; where there is anger,
forgiveness.
O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as
to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are
pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
