Saddened.

I am so saddened by what occurred on Ft. Hood yesterday. 

There never was a good war

or a bad peace.

- Benjamin Franklin

In peace

the sons bury their fathers,

but in war

the fathers bury their sons.

- Croesus

Peace has to be created,

in order to be maintained.

It is the product of

Faith,

Strength,

Energy,

Will,

Sympathy,

Justice,

Imagination,

and the triumph of principle.

It will never be achieved by

passivity and quietism.

- Dorothy Thompson
