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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There can be no peace in the world so long as a large proportion of the population lack the necessities of life and believe that a change of the political and economic system will make them available. World peace must be based on world plenty.
Peace is not an absence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice.
We cannot have peace if we are only concerned with peace. War is not an accident. It is the logical outcome of a certain way of life. If we want to attack war, we have to attack that way of life.
Peace is much more precious than a piece of land... let there be no more wars.
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.
If there is to be any peace it will come through being, not having.
It is far easier to make war than peace.
Peace as a goal is an ideal which will not be contested by any government or nation, not even the most belligerent.
Peace is a question of will. All conflicts can be settled, and there are no excuses for allowing them to become eternal.
There is no way to peace; peace is the way.
