May I do a LINK to this post of yours, on these quotes about war, complete with your illustrations?
ReplyDeleteI usually do "peace-only" quotes, as I fear being anti-war(fearing "anti"-anything being a "negative" energy), choosing only Pro-Peace. But war must be addressed, yes? Yes, it must.
You may link the post.... I completely agree, with allowing of anti-energy just brings importance and fear to the unwanted thing itself. Mother Teresa: “I was once asked why I don't participate in antiwar demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I'll be there.”
ReplyDeleteBut on the other hand, in this case, I do think good and interesting to hear our regarded forefathers simplified hits on it.
