Peace is such hard work. Harder than war. It takes way more effort to forgive than to kill.

The greatest thrill is not to kill but to let live.

You never kill anyone you want to kill in a war, he said to himself.

If you were born in a country or at a time not only when nobody comes to kill your wife and your children, but also nobody comes to ask you to kill the wives and children of others, then render thanks to God and go in peace. But always keep this thought in mind: you might be luckier than I, but you’re not a better person.

Farming is backbreaking work, but at least it is honest labor. This killing isn’t honest. It is thievery… the thievery of men’s lives, and no right-minded person should aspire to it.

Sports is like a war without the killing.
