For the victor peace means the preservation of the position of power which he has secured. For the vanquished it means resigning himself to the position left to him.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Peace is not an absence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice.
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.
Peace is not the product of a victory or a command. It has no finishing line, no final deadline, no fixed definition of achievement. Peace is a never-ending process, the work of many decisions.
Peace does not mean just to stop wars, but also to stop oppression and injustice.
The purpose of all wars, is peace.
A peace is of the nature of a conquest; for then both parties nobly are subdued, and neither party loser.
Thus, the struggle for peace includes the struggle for freedom and justice for the masses of all countries.
Peace for us means the destruction of Israel. We are preparing for an all-out war, a war which will last for generations.
I think that this is the first war in history that on the morrow the victors sued for peace and the vanquished called for unconditional surrender.
The important thing in life is not victory but combat; it is not to have vanquished but to have fought well.
