With firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us finish the work we are in...to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves. Abraham Lincoln quotes We cannot have peace if we are only concerned with peace. War is not an accident. It is the logical outcome of a certain way of life. If we want to attack war, we have to attack that way of life. A. J. Muste quotes It is more difficult to organize a peace than to win a war; but the fruits of victory will be lost if the peace is not organized. Aristotle quotes Peace can be reached through meditation on the knowledge which dreams give. Peace can also be reached through concentration upon that which is dearest to the heart. Patanjali quotes But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name. (3 John 1:14) The Bible quotes Even peace may be purchased at too high a price. Benjamin Franklin quotes Everything is changeable, everything appears and disappears; there is no blissful peace until one passes beyond the agony of life and death. Buddha quotes I intend to leave after my death a large fund for the promotion of the peace idea, but I am skeptical as to its results. Alfred Bernhard Nobel quotes Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man. Benjamin Franklin quotes Today the majority of South Africans, black and white, recognize that apartheid has no future. It has to be ended by our own decisive mass action in order to build peace and security. The mass campaign of defiance and other actions of our organization and people can only culminate with the establishment of democracy .... The factors which necessitated the armed struggle still exist today. We have no option but to continue. We express the hope that a climate conducive to a negotiated settlement will be created soon so that there may no longer be the need for the armed struggle. Nelson Mandela quotes |
