Need some help with quotes about peace or protest.
I am working on printing up some cards to go out with Armbands with the URL for the protest and a really really good quote on it, something you'd want to give to your friends that really makes the point.

Anybody got anything really good and to the point that is no more than 2 lines long??

4. Blessed are the peacemakers...
Wouldn't it make more sense to have a Secretary of Peace?
Jesus said, "Peace be with you."

6. How about
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me


Peace be with you
And with you be peace (could be done in Arabic, Hebrew, other languages)

Om Shanti Shanti Shanti

To know peace, be peace
To know justice, be justice

9. “The only thing worth globalizing is dissent.”Arundhati Roy
"No man is an island, entire of itself...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."
John Donne Meditation XVI

here's the rest of it.."All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated...As therefore the bell that rings to a sermon, calls not upon the preacher only, but upon the congregation to come: so this bell calls us all: but how much more me, who am brought so near the door by this sickness....No man is an island, entire of itself...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."

"The struggle of man against tyranny is the struggle of memory against forgetting." Milan Kundera

10. I'll try to help

An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.

- Mohandas K. Gandhi

How to piss off fundies. First tell them this:

Isaiah 2:4-5 They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.

And then tell them it is engraved on the wall leading up to Tudor City across the street from the United Nations. I know it doesn't fit but I couldn't resist.

A few more:

Support our soldiers - bring them home

I prefer the most unfair peace to the most righteous war.
- Cicero.

One more: "Shalom, Peace, Salaam" from the children's film "Trust me"
