"It is not for us to destroy what God has given us. Please, please let your mind and your will become the mind and the will of God. You have the power to bring war into the world or to build peace. Please choose the way of peace." - Letter to George Bush Sr and Saddam Hussein January 2 1991

"I have never been in a war before, but I have seen famine and death. I was asking myself, what do they feel when they do this. I don't understand it. They are all the children of God. Why do they do it, I don't understand.''- After assisting to evacuate 37 handicapped children today from a mental hospital in the Sabra refugee camp, Lebanon August 14, 1982
