When human beings live together, conflict is inevitable. War is not. – Daisaku Ikeda
History is filled with tragic examples of wars that result from diplomatic impasse. Whether in our local communities or in international relations, the skillful use of our communicative capacities to negotiate and resolve differences is the first evidence of human wisdom. – Daisaku Ikeda
We are not merely passive pawns of historical forces nor are we victims of the past. We can shape and direct history. – Daisaku Ikeda
It was my duty to shoot the enemy, and I dont regret it. My regrets are for the people I couldnt save: Marines, soldiers, buddies. Im not naive, and I dont romanticize war. The worst moments of my life have come as a SEAL. But I can stand before God with a clear conscience about doing my job. – Chris Kyle
