To make peace either in oneself or among others, shows a man to be a follower of God,
Quote by -Thomas Aquinas
That a man be willing, when others are so too, as far forth as for peace and defense of himself he shall think it necessary, to lay down this right to all things; and be contented with so much liberty against other men, as he would allow other men against himself.
Quote by -Thomas Hobbes
To find peace in the presence of the faultless is the desire of the one who seeks excellence; and is not nothingness a form of perfection?
Quote by -Thomas Mann
Peace demands the most heroic labor and the most difficult sacrifice. It demands greater heroism than war. It demands greater fidelity to the truth and a much more perfect purity of conscience.
Quote by -Thomas Merton
There is only one problem on which all my existence, my peace, my happiness depend: to discover myself in discovering God. If I find Him I will find myself and if I find my true self I will find Him.
Quote by -Thomas Merton
The peace produced by grace is a spiritual stability too deep for violence — it is unshakeable
Quote by -Thomas Merton
Frenzy destroys our inner capacity for peace. It destroys the fruitfulness of our work, because it kills the root of inner wisdom which makes work fruitful.
Quote by -Thomas Merton
If we lift one weary hand which hangs down, if we bring peace to one struggling soul, if we give as did the Master, we can—by showing the way—become a guiding star for some lost mariner.
Quote by -Thomas Spencer Monson
After the war people said, 'If you can plan for war, why can't you plan for peace?' When I was 17, I had a letter from the government saying, 'Dear Mr. Benn, will you turn up when you're 17 1/2? We'll give you free food, free clothes, free training, free accommodation, and two shillings, ten pence a day to just kill Germans.' People said, well, if you can have full employment to kill people, why in God's name couldn't you have full employment and good schools, good hospitals, good houses?
Quote by -Tony Benn
I now know that anything sweet, really sweet, that I have was nothing that I planned. If you don't have kids and animals, you don't truly know what real life is about.
Quote by -Sandra Bullock
We extend our hand towards peace. Our people are committed to peace. We know that peace entails painful compromise for both sides.
Quote by -H. L. Mencken
Peace should provide security. It should be durable. I'm ready to go far in making painful concessions. But there is one thing I will never make any concessions on and that's the security of the Israeli citizens and the very existence of the state of Israel. The Palestinians are losing time.
Quote by -H. L. Mencken
Wars generally do not resolve the problems for which they are fought and therefore... prove ultimately futile.
Quote by -Pope John Paul II
The obligation to earn one's bread presumes the right to do so. A society that denies this right cannot be justified, nor can it attain social peace.
Quote by -Pope John Paul II
If development is the new name for peace, war and preparations for war are the major enemy of the healthy development of peoples. If we take the common good of all humanity as our norm, instead of individual greed, peace would be possible.
Quote by -Pope John Paul II
Sensitivity to the immense needs of humanity brings with it a spontaneous rejection of the arms race, which is incompatible with the all out struggle against hunger, sickness, under-development and illiteracy.
Quote by -Pope John Paul II
Condemning class struggle does not mean condemning every possible form of social conflict. Such conflicts inevitably arise and Christians must often take a position in the "struggle for social justice." What is condemned is "total war," which has no respect for the dignity of others (and consequently of oneself). It excludes reasonable compromise, does not pursue the common good but the good of a group, and sets out to destroy whatever stands in its way.
Quote by -Pope John Paul II
There must be a cooperation of all who believe in God, knowing that authentic religiousness - far from placing individuals and peoples in conflict with one another - rather pushes them together to build a world of peace.
Quote by -Pope John Paul II
There is no true peace without fairness , truth , justice and solidarity .
Quote by -Pope John Paul II
True freedom is not advanced in the permissive society, which confuses freedom with license to do anything whatever and which in the name of freedom proclaims a kind of general amorality. It is a caricature of freedom to claim that people are free to organize their lives with no reference to moral values, and to say that society does not have to ensure the protection and advancement of ethical values. Such an attitude is destructive of freedom and peace.
Quote by -Pope John Paul II
Our future on this planet, exposed as it is to nuclear annihilation, depends one one single factor: humanity must make a moral about-face.
Quote by -Pope John Paul II
Do not be afraid to take a chance on peace, to teach peace, to live peace...Peace will be the last word of history.
Quote by -Pope John Paul II
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
Quote by -Ronald Reagan
Peace is not absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means.
Quote by -Ronald Reagan
We will always remember. We will always be proud. We will always be prepared, so we will always be free.
Quote by -Ronald Reagan
Protecting the rights of even the least individual among us is basically the only excuse the government has for even existing.
Quote by -Ronald Reagan
I call upon the scientific community in our country, those who gave us nuclear weapons, to turn their great talents now to the cause of mankind and world peace: to give us the means of rendering these nuclear weapons impotent and obsolete.
Quote by -Ronald Reagan
No mother would ever willingly sacrifice her sons for territorial gain, for economic advantage, for ideology.
Quote by -Ronald Reagan
History teaches that war begins when governments believe the price of aggression is cheap.
Quote by -Ronald Reagan
Peace is not the absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means.
Quote by -Ronald Reagan
I'm beginning to wonder if the symbol of the United States pretty soon isn't going to be an ambassador with a flag under his arm climbing into an escape helicopter.
Quote by -Ronald Reagan
When PLO sniper fire is followed by 14 hours of Israeli bombardment, that's stretching the definition of defensive action too far.
Quote by -Ronald Reagan
The true lesson of the Vietnam War is: certainty of purpose and ruthlessness of execution win wars.
Quote by -Ronald Reagan
It ought to be remembered by all [that] the Games more than 2,000 years ago started as a means of bringing peace between the Greek city-states. And in those days, even if a war was going on, they called off the war in order to hold the Games. I wish we were still as civilized.
Quote by -Ronald Reagan
I once played a sheriff who thought he could do the job without a gun. I was dead in twenty-seven minutes of a thirty minute show.
Quote by -Ronald Reagan
Every new day begins with possibilities. It's up to us to fill it with the things that move us toward progress and peace.
Quote by -Ronald Reagan
Regimes planted by bayonets do not take root... Our military strength is a prerequisite to peace, but let it be clear we maintain this strength in the hope it will never be used, for the ultimate determinant in the struggle that's now going on in the world will not be bombs and rockets but a test of wills and ideas, a trial of spiritual resolve, the values we hold, the beliefs we cherish, the ideals to which we are dedicated.
Quote by -Ronald Reagan
