There is no greater responsibility resting upon peoples and governments everywhere than to make sure that enduring peace will this time - at long last - be established and maintained.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If peace cannot be maintained with honour, it is no longer peace.
Understandably, no peace can sustained when people continue to suffer from hunger, lack of jobs, lack of basic public services - and most of all - lack of opportunity or hope.
Nothing is more important in the preservation of peace than to secure among the great mass of the people living under constitutional government a just conception of the rights which their nation has against others and of the duties their nation owes to others.
Peace has to be created, in order to be maintained. It will never be achieved by passivity and quietism.
Peace as a goal is an ideal which will not be contested by any government or nation, not even the most belligerent.
Certain it is that a great responsibility rests upon the statesmen of all nations, not only to fulfill the promises for reduction in armaments, but to maintain the confidence of the people of the world in the hope of an enduring peace.
Even a total and universal disarmament does not guarantee the maintenance of peace.
Peace is a question of will. All conflicts can be settled, and there are no excuses for allowing them to become eternal.
The promise of peace seems very far away, but you keep working steadily with good and uplifting attitudes, and that's sometimes tough in the environment we're in.
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.
