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)
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)
If you want to make peace, you don't talk to
your friends. You talk to your enemies.
Moshe Dayan (1915 - 1981)
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
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.
Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC)
First keep the peace within yourself, then you
can also bring peace to others.
Thomas a Kempis (1380 - 1471), 1420
Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
Justice does not come from the outside. It
comes from inner peace.
Barbara Hall, A Summons to
New Orleans, 2000
To be feared is to fear: no one has been able
to strike terror into others and at the same time
enjoy peace of mind.
Seneca (5 BC - 65 AD)
Let him who desires peace prepare for war.
Flavius Vegetius Renatus (~375 AD), De Rei
Militari
