Peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of creative alternatives for responding to conflict - alternatives to passive or aggressive responses, alternatives to violence.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Peace is not absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means.
Peace is not an absence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice.
Peace does not mean just to stop wars, but also to stop oppression and injustice.
The alternative to peace is war, which will expose everyone to mass casualties, misery and a loss of perspective for many years to come.
Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.
I would prefer things to be peaceful and not have conflict.
We know that peace is only possible when it is the fruit of justice. True peace is a profound transformation by means of the force of nonviolence that is the power of love.
There is no alternative to peace. There is no sense to go to war.
There is no peace because the making of peace is at least as costly as the making of war - at least as exigent, at least as disruptive, at least as liable to bring disgrace and prison and death in its wake.
Peace as a goal is an ideal which will not be contested by any government or nation, not even the most belligerent.
