Ludwig von Mises on war and peace

War...is harmful, not only to the conquered but to the conqueror.  Society has arisen out of the works of peace; the essence of society is peacemaking.  Peace and not war is the father of all things.  Only economic action has created the wealth around us; labor, not the profession of arms, brings happiness.  Peace builds, war destroys.

~ Ludwig von Mises, Socialism (1922)
