Whenever there are in any country uncultivated lands and unemployed poor, it is clear that the laws of property have been so far extended as to violate natural right.
Thomas Jefferson 1785
Property is organized robbery.
George Bernard Shaw
Kriget är för mannen vad moderskapet är för kvinnan.
Benito Mussolini
No man treats a motor car as foolishly as he treats another human being. When the car will not go, he does not attribute its annoying behavior to sin, he does not say, 'You are a wicked motorcar, and I shall not give you any more petrol until you go.' He attempts to find out what is wrong and set it right.
Bertrand Russell
I was not lying. I said things that later on seemed to be untrue.
Richard Nixon
No, I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered as patriots. This is one nation under God.
George Bush Sr
You find as you look around the world that every single bit of progress in humane feeling, every improvement in the criminal law, every step toward the diminution of war, every step toward better treatment of the colored races, or every mitigation of slavery, every moral progress that there has been in the world, has been consistently opposed by the organized churches of the world. I say quite deliberately that the Christian religion, as organized in its churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world.
Bertrand Russell
Knowledge is Power.
Francis Bacon
Folkets längtan efter frihet kan i det långa loppet inte slås ner. Den komer att leva och segra till sist.
Olof Palme
I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity.
Dwight D Eisenhower
Launching an indiscriminate attack affecting the civilian population or civilian objects in the knowledge that such attack will cause excessive loss of life, injury to civilians or damage to civilian objects
From article 85 in the First Additional Protocol to the Geneva Conventions from 1977, describing war crimes
Among others, the following types of attacks are to be considered as indiscriminate:
(a) An attack by bombardment by any methods or means which treats as a single military objective a number of clearly separated and distinct military objectives located in a city, town, village or other area containing a similar concentration of civilians or civilian objects; and
(b) An attack which may be expected to cause incidental loss of civilian life, injury to civilians, damage to civilian objects, or a combination thereof, which would be excessive in relation to the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated.
From article 51 in the First Additional Protocol to the Geneva Conventions from 1977
Starvation of civilians as a method of warfare is prohibited.
From article 54 in the First Additional Protocol to the Geneva Conventions from 1977
Indiscriminate attacks are prohibited. Indiscriminate attacks are:
(a) those which are not directed at a specific military objective;
(b) those which employ a method or means of combat which cannot be directed at a specific military objective; or
(c) those which employ a method or means of combat the effects of which cannot be limited as required by this protocol; and consequently, in each case, are of a nature to strike military objectives and civilians or civilian objects without distinction.
From article 51 in the First Additional Protocol to the Geneva Conventions from 1977
