Golda Meir
Peace will come when the Arabs
will love their children more
than they hate us.
Agatha Christie:
One is left with the horrible
feeling now that war settles
nothing; that to win a war is
as disastrous as to lose one.
Alex Noble:
If I have been of service, if
I have glimpsed more of the
nature and essence of ultimate
good, if I am inspired to
reach wider horizons of
thought and action, if I am at
peace with myself, it has been
a successful day.
Anton Chekov:
We shall find peace. We shall
hear angels. We shall see the
sky sparkling with diamonds.
Aristotle:
We make war that we may live
in peace.
Benjamin Franklin:
There never was a good war or
a bad peace.
Benjamin Franklin:
There never was a good war or
bad peace.
Carl Sandburg:
Choose
The single clenched fist
lifted and ready,
Or the open hand held out and
waiting.
Choose:
For we meet by one or the
other. |

Carl
Schurz:
The peace and welfare of this and coming generations of
Americans will be secure only as we cling to the watchword
of true patriotism: "Our country -- when right to be kept
right; when wrong to be put right."
Croesus:
In peace the sons bury their fathers, but in war the fathers
bury their sons.
Dorothy Thompson:
They have not wanted Peace at all; they have wanted to be
spared war -- as though the absence of war was the same as
peace.
Dorothy Thompson:
Peace has to be created, in order to be maintained. It is
the product of Faith, Strength, Energy, Will, Sympathy,
Justice, Imagination, and the triumph of principle. It will
never be achieved by passivity and quietism.
Dorothy Thompson:
Peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of
creative alternatives for responding to conflict --
alternatives to passive or aggressive responses,
alternatives to violence.
Dwight D. Eisenhower:
We seek peace, knowing that peace is the climate of freedom.
Ecclesiastes:
For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones
together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
George Bernard Shaw:
Peace is not only better than war, but infinitely more
arduous.
George Washington:
There is nothing so likely to produce peace as to be well
prepared to meet the enemy.
HH the Dalai Lama:
Peace, in the sense of the absence of war, is of little
value to someone who is dying of hunger or cold. It will not
remove the pain of torture inflicted on a prisoner of
conscience. It does not comfort those who have lost their
loved ones in floods caused by senseless deforestation in a
neighboring country. Peace can only last where human rights
are respected, where the people are fed, and where
individuals and nations are free.
HH the Dalai Lama:
Responsibility does not only lie with the leaders of our
countries or with those who have been appointed or elected
to do a particular job. It lies with each of us
individually. Peace, for example, starts within each one of
us. When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those
around us.
HH the Dalai Lama:
When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only
makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also
to develop inner happiness and peace.
Helen Keller:
I do not want the peace that passeth understanding. I want
the understanding which bringeth peace.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow:
I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play
And mild and sweet the words repeat,
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
I thought how as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had roll'd along th' unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
And in despair I bow'd my head:
"There is no peace on earth," I said,
"For hate is strong, and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men."
Hermann Goering:
Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in
Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That
is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the
country who determine policy, and it is always a simple
matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy,
or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist
dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be
brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you
have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and
denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing
the country to danger. It works the same in any country.

Howard Nemerov:
Religion and science both profess peace (and the sincerity
of the professors is not being doubted), but each always
turns out to have a dominant part in any war that is going
or contemplated.
Indira Gandhi:
You can't shake hands with a clenched fist.
James Russell Lowell:
We kind o' thought Christ went agin war an' pillage.
Jimi Hendrix:
When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world
will know peace.
John F. Kennedy:
It is an unfortunate fact that we can secure peace only by
preparing for war.
John F. Kennedy:
Unconditional war can no longer lead to unconditional
victory. It can no longer serve to settle disputes. It can
no longer be of concern to great powers alone. For a nuclear
disaster, spread by winds and waters and fear, could well
engulf the great and the small, the rich and the poor, the
committed and the uncommitted alike. Mankind must put an end
to war or war will put an end to mankind.
John Harricharan:
Peace is not achieved by controlling nations, but mastering
our thoughts.
John Lennon:
Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm
a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll
join us, and the world will live as one.
Lady Mary Wortley Montagu:
While conscience is our friend, all is at peace; however
once it is offended, farewell to a tranquil mind.
M. Scott Peck:
There can be no vulnerability without risk; there can be no
community without vulnerability; there can be no peace, and
ultimately no life, without community.
Maria Montessori:
Establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all
politics can do is keep us out of war.
Marian Wright Edelman:
[W]e are not going to deal with the violence in our
communities, our homes, and our nation, until we learn to
deal with the basic ethic of how we resolve our disputes and
to place an emphasis on peace in the way we relate to one
another.
Mark Twain:
Peace by persuasion has a pleasant sound, but I think we
should not be able to work it. We should have to tame the
human race first, and history seems to show that that cannot
be done.
Martin Luther King, Jr.:
One day we must come to see that peace is not merely a
distant goal we seek, but that it is a means by which we
arrive at that goal. We must pursue peaceful ends through
peaceful means.
Martin Luther King, Jr.:
True peace is not merely the absence of tension: it is the
presence of justice.
Mohandas K. Gandhi:
Non-cooperation is a measure of discipline and sacrifice,
and it demands respect for the opposite views.
Mohandas K. Gandhi:
I first learned the concepts of non-violence in my marriage.
Moshe Dayan:
If you want to make peace, you don't talk to your friends.
You talk to your enemies.
Omar N. Bradley:
Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We
know more about war than we know about peace, more about
killing than we know about living. We have grasped the
mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon on the Mount.
Oscar Romero:
Peace is not the product of terror or fear.
Peace is not the silence of cemeteries.
Peace is not the silent result of violent repression.
Peace is the generous, tranquil contribution of all to the
good of all.
Peace is dynamism. Peace is generosity.
It is right and it is duty.
Peyton Conway March:
There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three
things we crave most in life -- happiness, freedom, and
peace of mind -- are always attained by giving them to
someone else.
R. Buckminster Fuller:
Either war is obsolete or men are.
Ralph Waldo Emerson:
A political victory, a rise in rents, the recovery of your
sick, or return of your absent friend, or some other quite
external event, raises your spirits, and you think good days
are preparing for you. Do not believe it. Nothing can bring
you peace but yourself. Nothing can bring you peace but the
triumph of principles.
from "Self-Reliance"
Ralph Waldo Emerson:
The real and lasting victories are those of peace, and not
of war.
Ramona L. Anderson:
People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking for
peace. They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions, even
other people, hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues
them. The irony is the only place they ever needed to search
was within.
Simone Weil:
A self-respecting nation is ready for anything, including
war, except for a renunciation of its option to make war.
Spinoza:
Peace is not the absence of war; it is a virtue; a state of
mind; a disposition for benevolence; confidence; and
justice.
Thomas Jefferson:
The care of human life and happiness, and not their
destruction, is the first and only object of good
government.
Thomas Paine:
If there must be trouble let it be in my day, that my child
may have peace.
Thomas a Kempis:
First keep the peace within yourself, then you can also
bring peace to others.
Unknown:
Symptoms of Inner Peace
Unknown:
The great teachings unanimously emphasize that all the
peace, wisdom, and joy in the universe are already within
us; we don't have to gain, develop, or attain them. We're
like a child standing in a beautiful park with his eyes shut
tight. We don't need to imagine trees, flowers, deer, birds,
and sky; we merely need to open our eyes and realize what is
already here, who we really are -- as soon as we quit
pretending we're small or unholy.
William E. Gladstone :
We look forward to the time when the Power of Love will
replace the Love of Power. Then will our world know the
blessings of peace. |
