           "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature, and has no chance of being free unless made or kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."   

- John Stuart Mill"

"There are only two forces in the world, the sword and the spirit.  In the long run the sword will always be conquered by the spirit."  - Napoleon Bonaparte
"Those who have long enjoyed such privileges as we enjoy forget in time that men have died to win them."  - Franklin D. Roosevelt
"The characteristic of a genuine heroism is its persistency. All men have wandering impulses, fits and starts of generosity. But when you have resolved to be great, abide by yourself, and do not weakly try to reconcile yourself with the world. The heroic cannot be the common, nor the common the heroic." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
"I don't know whether war is an interlude during peace, or peace is an interlude during war."   - Georges Clemenceau
"All that is necessary for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing."  - Edmund Burke, British statesman and philosopher
"We have had enough of kings"	"Napoleon at Waterloo"

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: 

"Better to fight for something than live for nothing."

 - General George S. Patton

"There is many a boy here today who looks on war as all glory, but, boys, it is all hell. You can bear this warning voice to generations yet to come. I look upon war with horror." 

- General William Tecumseh Sherman

"There will one day spring from the brain of science a machine or force so fearful in its potentialities, so absolutely terrifying, that even man, the fighter, who will dare torture and death in order to inflict torture and death, will be appalled, and so abandon war forever."

 - Thomas A. Edison

Who is American Illustrator Howard David Johnson?

 In David's invitation to the Florence Biennale Contemporary Art Exhibition, (a partner in the United Nations' Dialog among Nations), UN Secretary General Kofi Anon wrote: "Artists have a special role to play in the global struggle for peace. At their best, artists speak not only to people; they speak for them. Art is a weapon against ignorance and hatred and an agent of public awareness... Art opens new doors for learning, understanding, and peace among nations."
