The journey of a thousand leagues begins with a single step. So we must never neglect any work of peace within our reach, however small. Adlai E. Stevenson quotes Be at peace with your own soul, then heaven and earth will be at peace with you. St. Jerome quotes We can gain no lasting peace if we approach it with suspicion and mistrust or with fear. We can gain it only if we proceed with the understanding, the confidence, and the courage which flow from conviction. Franklin D. Roosevelt quotes Don't tell me peace has broken out. Bertolt Brecht quotes Man tries to make for himself in the fashion that suits him best a simplified and intelligible picture of the world; he then tries to some extent to substitute this cosmos of his for the world of experience, and thus to overcome it. This is what the pai nter, the poet, the speculative philosopher, and the natural scientists do, each in his own fashion. Each makes this cosmos and its construction the pivot of his emotional life, in order to find in this way peace and security which he can not find in the narrow whirlpool of personal experience. Albert Einstein quotes There was never a good war or a bad peace. Benjamin Franklin quotes In the night we stumble over things and become acutely conscious of their separateness, but the day reveals the unity which embraces them. And the man whose inner vision is bathed in consciousness at once realizes the spiritual unity which reigns over all racial differences, and his mind no longer stumbles over individual facts, accepting them as final. He realizes that peace is an inner harmony and not an outer adjustment, that beauty carries the assurance of our relationship to reality, which waits for its perfection in the response of our love. Rabindranath Tagore quotes 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 David Eisenhower quotes I think that people want peace so much that one of these days government had better get out of their way and let them have it. Dwight David Eisenhower quotes We are going to have peace even if we have to fight for it. Dwight David Eisenhower quotes |
