Here are some more quotes I like:

There never was a good war or a bad peace. Benjamin Franklin

An unjust peace is better than a just war Marcus Tullius Cicero .

Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding. Ralph Waldo Emerson

It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet, I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can't build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever-approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again. ANNE FRANK

It is regrettable for the education of the young that war stories are always told by those who survived. -Louis Scutenaire

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its labourers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.
- Dwight D Eisenhower
