Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding. You cannot subjugate a nation forcibly unless you wipe out every man, woman, and child. Unless you wish to use such drastic measures, you must find a way of settling your disputes without resort to arms. - Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)

平和は力では維持できない。理解しあうことでしか達成できない。老若男女問わず皆殺しにでもしない限り、一つの国を力ずくで征服することはできない。そのような極端な手段を用いたくないなら、武力に拠らない紛争解決の方法を見つけなければならない。 - アルベルト・アインシュタイン (1879 - 1955)
