So instead of loving what you think is peace, love other men [and women] and love God above all. And instead of hating the people you think are warmakers, hate the appetites and disorder in your own soul, which are the causes of war. If you love peace, then hate injustice, hate tyrrany, hate greed--but hate these things in yourself, not in another.
New Seeds of Contemplation
-Thomas Merton
