Jesus said, 'Blessed are the peacemakers.' And I think a lot of people don't understand that there's a difference between a peace lover and a peacemaker. Everybody loves peace, but wearing jewelry around your neck and saying 'I love peace' doesn't bring it.

Diplomats are just as essential to starting a war as soldiers are for finishing it... You take diplomacy out of war, and the thing would fall flat in a week.

Why does America always need to be the world's policeman?

You can like somebody without agreeing with all of their policies.

My position has always been, along with many other people, that any differences be resolved in a nonviolent way.

I like hitting people. The best feeling is when you hit so hard, pow! You get a jarring headache.

This actual question of 'Why does God allow war?' is not considered or raised as such in the Bible at all.

I think that a strong Israel is the only Israel that will bring the Arabs to the peace table.

Why are we talking about talking? Why negotiating about negotiating? It's very simple. If you want to get to peace, put all your preconditions on the side, sit down opposite a table, not in a studio, by the way.

In conflict, time heals nothing; it causes hurts to fester.

Peacemaking is also not appeasement. Always giving in, acting like a doormat, and allowing others to always run over you is not what Jesus had in mind. He refused to back down on many issues, standing his ground in the face of evil opposition.

You are joined together with peace through the Spirit, so make every effort to continue together in this way. EPHESIANS 4:3 (NCV)
