In remembering the appalling suffering of war on both sides, we recognise how precious is the peace we have built in Europe since 1945.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The principal achievement of Europe is peace, which we often forget about as it has become so taken for granted by Europeans.
War may make us great, but let it never be forgotten that peace only can make us both great and free.
But the memory of war weighs undiminished upon the people's minds. That is because deeper than material wounds, moral wounds are smarting, inflicted by the so- called peace treaties.
We extend our hand towards peace. Our people are committed to peace. We know that peace entails painful compromise for both sides.
Peace is our gift to each other.
Peace is much more precious than a piece of land... let there be no more wars.
Under the ominous shadow which the second World War and its attendant circumstances have cast on the world, peace has become as essential to civilized existence as the air we breathe is to life itself.
Nothing is more precious than peace, by which all war, both in Heaven and Earth, is brought to an end.
We have learned that peace and well-being are indivisible and that our peace and well-being cannot be purchased at the price of peace or the well-being of any other country.
Yes, we love peace, but we are not willing to take wounds for it, as we are for war.
