Quote

The principal achievement of Europe is peace, which we often forget about as it has become so taken for granted by Europeans.

Peace in Europe can only come through union in one economic system. The United States of Europe are overdue.

Since creation of the E.U. a half century ago, Europe has enjoyed the longest period of peace in its history.

It is far easier to make war than peace.

For the only way in which a durable peace can be created is by world-wide restoration of economic activity and international trade.

I know of no greater work for humanity than in the cause of peace, which can only be achieved by the earnest efforts of nations and peoples.

I know of no more important subject to the peace of Europe and the world than the reasonable reduction of armaments, especially in Europe, and of naval armaments throughout the world.

The Nobel Peace Prize is a powerful message. A durable peace is not a single achievement, but an environment, a process and a commitment.

For development, peace is essential.
