"Peace does not mean just a mere absence of violence," said the Dalai Lama, who was awarded the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize. He commented that if two countries point nuclear warheads at each other, and peace is created because "both sides are ready to shoot," that truce is based on fear and negativity and is not true peace.

With an infectious humility and affable sense of humor, the Dalai Lama won over the audience by saying he preferred to speak in an informal manner that reduces barriers. The most important experiences in life, he pointed out, are birth and death, which occur without formalities.
He also noted that "our basic physical structure" is "not like tigers -- those meat-eater animals," which "in order to take other lives, they are equipped in a special way" with claws and large teeth. In "our own case, our nails are very gentle," he said. Our teeth are "made to smile" and our "fingers are well-equipped to shake hands" and to hug.

Norman Borlaug, Nobel Peace prize winner amongst numerous other accolades. A quote from a piece on his life's work
Borlaug himself saw suffering and death and he committed his life to minimizing it. By all objective measures, he succeeded wildly, saving upwards of one billion lives.
1 billion, the Dalai Lama may be a nice dude but how many lives did he save?

"Bourlag -- corporate punk
From reason magazine
Reason: Do biotech crops pose a health risk to human beings?
Borlaug: I see no difference between the varieties carrying a BT gene or a herbicide resistance gene, or other genes that will come to be incorporated, and the varieties created by conventional plant breeding. I think the activists have blown the health risks of biotech all out of proportion.
Reason: What do you think of organic farming? A lot of people claim it's better for human health and the environment.
Borlaug: That's ridiculous. This shouldn't even be a debate. Even if you could use all the organic material that you have--the animal manures, the human waste, the plant residues--and get them back on the soil, you couldn't feed more than 4 billion people. In addition, if all agriculture were organic, you would have to increase cropland area dramatically, spreading out into marginal areas and cutting down millions of acres of forests.
At the present time, approximately 80 million tons of nitrogen nutrients are utilized each year. If you tried to produce this nitrogen organically, you would require an additional 5 or 6 billion head of cattle to supply the manure. How much wild land would you have to sacrifice just to produce the forage for these cows? There's a lot of nonsense going on here.
If people want to believe that the organic food has better nutritive value, it's up to them to make that foolish decision. But there's absolutely no research that shows that organic foods provide better nutrition. As far as plants are concerned, they can't tell whether that nitrate ion comes from artificial chemicals or from decomposed organic matter. If some consumers believe that it's better from the point of view of their health to have organic food, God bless them. Let them buy it. Let them pay a bit more. It's a free society. But don't tell the world that we can feed the present population without chemical fertilizer. That's when this misinformation becomes destructive."
