"I
recoil with horror at the ferociousness of man. Will nations never
devise a more rational umpire of differences than force? Are there no
means of coercing injustice more gratifying to our nature than a waste
of the blood of thousands and of the labor of millions of our fellow
creatures?" - Thomas Jefferson
"A
common and natural result of an undue respect for law is that you may
see a file of soldiers, colonel, captain, corporal, privates,
powder-monkeys, and all marching in admirable order over hill and dale
to the wars, against their wills, ay, against their common sense and
consciences, which makes it very steep marching indeed, and produces a
palpitation of the heart. They have no doubt that it is a damnable
business in which they are concerned; they are all peaceably inclined.
Now,
what are they? Men at all? or small movable forts and magazines, at
the service of some unscrupulous man in power? The mass of men serve
the State thus, not as men mainly, but as machines, with their
bodies.... In most cases there is no free exercise whatever of the
judgment or of the moral sense; but they put themselves on a level with
wood and earth and stones; and wooden men can perhaps be manufactured
that will serve the purpose as well." - Henry David Thoreau, On the Duty of Civil Disobedience
"All wars are civil wars, because all men are brothers." - François Fénelon
