Peace has to be created, in order to be maintained. It will never be achieved by passivity and quietism.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If peace cannot be maintained with honour, it is no longer peace.
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.
If there is to be any peace it will come through being, not having.
Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.
Peace is a question of will. All conflicts can be settled, and there are no excuses for allowing them to become eternal.
It's impossible to impose peace, only to create it.
Peace is a fragile thing. It takes courage to secure it. It takes wisdom to maintain it.
Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.
Peace is rarely denied to the peaceful.
Peace as a goal is an ideal which will not be contested by any government or nation, not even the most belligerent.
