We shall find peace. We shall hear the angels, we shall see the sky
sparkling with diamonds.
Anton Chekhov (1860 - 1904), 1897
We make war that we may live in peace.
Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC), Nichomachean Ethics
Peace is not an absence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a
disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice.
Baruch Spinoza (1632 - 1677)
Peace has never come from dropping bombs. Real peace comes from
enlightenment and educating people to behave more in a divine manner.
Carlos Santana, Associated Press interview, September 1, 2004
The name of peace is sweet, and the thing itself is beneficial, but
there is a great difference between peace and servitude. Peace is
freedom in tranquillity, servitude is the worst of all evils, to be
resisted not only by war, but even by death.
Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC)
I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to
promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want
peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of
the way and let them have it.
Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890 - 1969)
Let him who desires peace prepare for war.
Flavius Vegetius Renatus (~375 AD), De Rei Militari
If man does find the solution for world peace it will be the most
revolutionary reversal of his record we have ever known.
George C. Marshall (1880 - 1959)
Has not peace honours and glories of her own unattended by the
dangers of war?
Hermocrates of Syracuse
Peace is not a relationship of nations. It is a condition of mind
brought about by a serenity of soul. Peace is not merely the absence of
war. It is also a state of mind. Lasting peace can come only to peaceful
people.
Jawaharlal Nehru (1889 - 1964)
The only alternative to coexistence is codestruction.
Jawaharlal Nehru (1889 - 1964)
You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace
unless he has his freedom.
Malcolm X (1925 - 1965), Malcolm X Speaks, 1965
If you want to make peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk
to your enemies.
Moshe Dayan (1915 - 1981)
If you want peace, stop fighting. If you want peace of mind, stop
fighting with your thoughts.
Peter McWilliams, Life 101, 1991
Every day we do things, we are things that have to do with peace. If
we are aware of our life..., our way of looking at things, we will know
how to make peace right in the moment, we are alive.
Thich Nhat Hanh
First keep the peace within yourself, then you can also bring peace
to others.
Thomas a Kempis (1380 - 1471), 1420
The peace of heaven is theirs that lift their swords, in such a just
and charitable war.
William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616)
