I believe serious progress (in the abolition of war) can be achieved only when men become organized on an international scale and refuse, as a body, to enter military or war service.

War lives on despotism and is not waged with God's love.

I don't know what will be used in the next world war, but the fourth will be fought with stones.

I appeal to all men and women, whether they be eminent or humble, to declare that they will refuse to give any further assistance to war or the preparation of war.

Christianity has not failed. It is simply that nations have failed to try it. There would be no war in a God-directed world.

War determines not who is right but who is left.

It is not merely cruelty that leads men to love war, it is excitement.

To my mind, to kill in war is not a whit better than to commit ordinary murder.

Love of my country does not demand that I shall hate and slay those noble and faithful souls who also love theirs.

To lead an uninstructed people to war is to throw them away.
