For it isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work for it. Eleanor Roosevelt quotes People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf. George Orwell quotes If we wish to create a lasting peace we must begin with the children. Mahatma Gandhi quotes Establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all politics can do is keep us out of war. Maria Montessori quotes Watching a peaceful death of a human being reminds us of a falling star; one of a million lights in a vast sky that flares up for a brief moment only to disappear into the endless night forever. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross quotes Peace is not an absence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice. Baruch Spinoza quotes Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them. Ralph Waldo Emerson quotes A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. Abraham Maslow quotes Looking for peace is like looking for a turtle with a moustache: You won't be able to find it. But when your heart is ready, peace will come looking for you. Ajahn Chah quotes With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds. . . to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations.
