They are so little, ... They don't understand what war is, but they care about the people there. I think that's important.

We need to stop spending money on death, the war in Iraq and on enhancing the lives of the people in our own country.

I hope that we shall have leisure from war, -- war commercial, as well as war of the bullet and the bayonet; leisure from the knowledge that darkens counsel; leisure above all from the greed of money, and the craving for that overwhelming distinction that money now brings: I believe that, as we have even now partly achieved liberty , so we shall achieve equality , and best of all, fraternity , and so have leisure from poverty and all its griping, sordid cares.

Lord, give us the wisdom to utter words that are gentle and tender, for tomorrow we may have to eat them.
