War on the other hand is such a terrible thing, that no man, especially a Christian man, has the right to assume the responsibility of starting it.

War is so unjust and ugly that all who wage it must try to stifle the voice of conscience within themselves.

In all history there is no war which was not hatched by the governments, the governments alone, independent of the interests of the people, to whom war is always pernicious even when successful.
