To plunder, to slaughter, to steal, these things they misname empire; and where they make a wilderness, they call it peace.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Five enemies of peace inhabit with us - avarice, ambition, envy, anger, and pride; if these were to be banished, we should infallibly enjoy perpetual peace.
In the scriptures, 'peace' means either freedom from strife, contention, conflict, or war, or an inner calm and comfort born of the Spirit that is a gift of God to all of his children, an assurance and serenity within a person's heart.
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 the virtue of civilization. War is its crime.
Peace is much more precious than a piece of land... let there be no more wars.
Peace is not an absence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice.
Peace is that state in which fear of any kind is unknown.
Peace is not wimpy. It's about sitting down and negotiating with people you hate. Ultimately, all occupation ends, and you have to deal with the enemy.
The purpose of all wars, is peace.
War makes thieves and peace hangs them.
