There are many ways of fighting. Many a man or woman has waged a good war for truth, honor, and freedom, who did not shed blood in the process. Beware of those who would use violence, too often it is the violence they want and neither truth nor freedom.

Louis LAmour
About This Quote

Violence is a terrible thing. It destroys everything it touches. But, there are those who use violence as a means to an end and that end is not peace and freedom. The real culprits behind violence are those who seek to control and manipulate others. What should be done is to fight against those who use violence and those who support violence, not the people who fight for peace and freedom for all.
