“It needs but one foe to breed a war, and those who have not swords can still die upon them.”

“The women of this country learned long ago, those without swords can still die upon them.”

“For what can war, but endless war, still breed?”

“When you really believe that using sword can kill people,that's when you will be subject to the law of the sword,"those who use the sword will die by the sword.”

“Each one of us here today will at one time in our lives look upon a loved one who is in need and ask the same question: We are willing to help, Lord, but what, if anything, is needed? For it is true we can seldom help those closest to us. Either we don't know what part of ourselves to give or, more often than not, the part we have to give is not wanted. And so it is those we live with and should know who elude us. But we can still love them - we can love completely without complete understanding.”

“This side of the Kingdom of God upon Earth, it is a melancholy human fact that those who beat their swords into plowshares end up doing the plowing for those who kept their swords.”
