About This Quote

Never, ever support war. It is evil, and it makes all the world mad. The first war that was ever fought was between brothers and friends on the same team. War only came about after humans began to treat each other as enemies instead of friends.

And, today, war is still waged between brother and brother around the world. This quote reminds us that war is not something to be taken lightly because it has the potential to ruin an entire generation of people. Here are two quotes from two different sources that remind us why we must never talk about war again.

The first quote is from an article by Robert Farrar Capon in Peace Magazine, which points out that war is a World War I poster child for contributing to global warming: "The amount of carbon dioxide produced by the average American’s commute alone exceeds that produced by all of Germany’s industries for a full year." The second quote is from the blog "War is Never Worth It," which makes the argument that, "it does nothing good for our economy or our society...war costs an astounding amount of money."
