Peace Quotes
John F. Kennedy, Shakespeare, Woodrow Wilson, Barack Obama and Isaac Herzog lead, which makes the page heavy on speeches. For older sources, Byron’s The Bride of Abydos (1813) has the line about a conqueror who makes a solitude and calls it peace. Keats, in Hyperion (1819), has the days of peace and slumberous calm fled, and Albert Schweitzer, in Kulturphilosophie (1923), says man will not himself find peace until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things.
Flagged: Patrick Henry’s “Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?” and Publilius Syrus on providing in peace what we need in war are both disputed. A passage on creating chaos through psychopolitics, credited to Lavrentiy Beria, is marked misattributed.
It is from this solid, self-knowing place that we can work towards peace and justice
No more shall * * * Peace
Pipe on her pastoral hillock a languid note,
And watch her harvest ripen.
It is not enough just to be for peace. The point is, what can we do about it?
When you engage in your wars, think upon others
Do not forget those who demand peace.
At home the hateful names of parties cease,
And factious souls are wearied into peace.
So peaceful shalt thou end thy blissful days,
And steal thyself from life by slow decays.
If you want peace, the thing you've gut to du
Is jes' to show you're up to fightin', tu.
And for the peace of you I hold such strife
As 'twixt a miser and his wealth is found.
