A lyric in one of John Lennon’s song says
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear
War is over, if you want it
War is over now
I believe that as soon as people want
peace in the world they can have it.
The only trouble is they are not aware
they can get it.
John Lennon, 1969
Gandhi said: “An eye for an eye will make us all blind”.

I also found this forum thread: http://www.thebereans.net/forum2/showthread.php?t=39667

Everybody’s talking about peace, but nobody does anything about it in a peaceful way.
It doesn’t help murderers to hang them, it doesn’t help violent people to be violent to them.
Violence begets violence.
You can’t kill off all the violent people or all the murderers or you’d have to kill off the government.
John Lennon, 1969
One time in my life, I heard a man named Eli Soriano, that says, “Love begets Love”. His principle in life is to do Good to all men, all the days of his life.
Revolutions made by men established governments, new way of life, new way of thinking, living, loving… and inevitably resulted to anger, revenge, hatred, chaos and war.
I know that someday, the Supreme Being will end this world, and the blessed and the holies will live in a place where evil is found NO MORE.
Everlasting Peace is Near.
