• El equilibrio del poder es la balanza de la paz. El mismo equilibrio se mantendría si todo el mundo no estuviera desprovisto de armas, pues todos serían iguales; pero como algunos no quieren, otros no se atreven a desprenderse de ellas...

• No war ought ever to be undertaken but under circumstances which render all intercourse of courtesy between the combatants impossible. It is a bad thing that men should hate each other; but it is far worse that they should contract the habit of cutting one another's throats without hatred. War is never lenient but where it is wanton; when men are compelled to fight in self-defence, they must hate and avenge: this may be bad; but it is human nature.

  Thomas B. Macaulay

• I always make it a rule to let the other fellow fire first. If a man wants to fight, I argue the question with him and try to show him how foolish it would be. If he can't be dissuaded, why then the fun begins but I always let him have first crack. Then when I fire, you see, I have the verdict of self-defence on my side. I know that he is pretty certain in his hurry, to miss. I never do.

• Un gobierno decente con una fuerza policial eficaz, pero no gratuitamente violenta, y un sistema judicial justo son esenciales. Esto disuade e incapacita a los psicópatas, los matones y los exaltados, y si se gana la confianza de la gente, ésta no tiene por qué volverse violenta en defensa propia.

  Steven Pinker

• Daughters could survive a powerful mother, but boys found it almost impossible.

• At the bottom of religious persecution is the doctrine of self-defence; that is to say, the defence of the soul. If the founder of Christianity had plainly said: 'It is not necessary to believe in order to be saved; it is only necessary to do, and he who really loves his fellow-men, who is kind, honest, just and charitable, is to be forever blest' - if he had only said that, there would probably have been but little persecution.

• It would have been very alarming - morally, and in other ways too - if an attack of that nature, the 11 September attacks, had not aroused in us and in our governments and societies the spirit of self-defence. If that had not been one of the responses it seems to me there would have been very grave cause for concern.

• Ya sea bajo el disfraz de la supervivencia y la autodefensa o expresado directamente a través del dominio y la codicia, la falta de reconocimiento de la humanidad común que todos compartimos se encuentra en el centro de nuestras dificultades. Para superarlo, deberíamos empezar a desarrollar, desde el nivel del individuo hasta el del mundo en general, pasando por el de la sociedad, lo que yo llamo un sentido de responsabilidad universal; un profundo respeto por cada ser vivo que vive en este pequeño planeta y lo llama hogar.
