There is more value in placing a flower in a rifle barrel than making war. As Jimi Hendrix used to say, musical notes have more importance than bullets.

There's one thing we're all waiting for, it's peace on earth and end to war, it's the miracle we need ... The Miracle!

Understand your man, meditate on it.

War is not courtesy but the most horrible thing in life; and we ought to understand that, and not play at war. We ought to accept this terrible necessity sternly and seriously. It all lies in that: get rid of falsehood and let war be war and not a game.

We must see that peace represents a sweeter music, a cosmic melody that is far superior to the discords of war.

I am not bothered by the fact that I am not understood. I am bothered when I do not know others.
