Quotations regarding 'Peace'

Choose a letter: 
Well may the boldest fear and the wisest tremble when incurring responsibilities on which may depend our country's peace and prosperity, and in some degree the hopes and happiness of the whole human family.
James K. Polk, American President (1795-1849)
War its thousands slays, Peace its ten thousands.
Beilby Porteus, British Clergyman (1731-1809)
The purposes of the United States should not be doubted. The Security Council resolutions will be enforced - the just demands of peace and security will be met - or action will be unavoidable. And a regime that has lost its legitimacy will also lose its power.
Colin Powell, American Statesman (1937-  )
An order of government, established by such an all-wise, powerful being, must be good and perfect, and must be calculated to promote the permanent peace, happiness, and well-being of all his subjects.
Orson Pratt, American Theologian (1811-1881)
I would like to end world hunger and create world peace, stop corruption, stop drugs getting to kids.
Kelly Preston, American Actress (1962-  )
I must end it. There is no hope. I will be at peace. No one had anything to do with it. My decision totally.
Freddie Prinze, American Comedian (1954-1977)
Joy is like restless day; but peace divine like quiet night; Lead me, O Lord, till perfect Day shall shine through Peace to Light.
Adelaide Anne Procter, English Poet (1825-1864)
There was a time in my life when I thought I had everything - millions of dollars, mansions, cars, nice clothes, beautiful women, and every other materialistic thing you can imagine. Now I struggle for peace.
Richard Pryor, American Actor (1940-2005)
Someday when peace has returned to this odd world I want to come to London again and stand on a certain balcony on a moonlit night and look down upon the peaceful silver curve of the Thames with its dark bridges.
Ernie Pyle, American Journalist (1900-1945)
As long as man continues to be the ruthless destroyer of lower living beings he will never know health or peace. For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other.
Pythagoras, Greek Mathematician
So long as peace is not attained by law (so argue the advocates of armaments) the military protection of a country must not be undermined, and until such is the case disarmament is impossible.
Ludwig Quidde, German Critic (1858-1941)
Some pacifists have carried the sound idea of the prime importance of security too far, to the point of declaring that any consideration of disarmament is superfluous and pointless as long as eternal peace has not been attained.
Ludwig Quidde, German Critic (1858-1941)
Thus, if armaments were curtailed without a secure peace and all countries disarmed proportionately, military security would have been in no way affected.
Ludwig Quidde, German Critic (1858-1941)
The relationship of the two problems is rather the reverse. To a great extent disarmament is dependent on guarantees of peace. Security comes first and disarmament second.
Ludwig Quidde, German Critic (1858-1941)
The popular, and one may say naive, idea is that peace can be secured by disarmament and that disarmament must therefore precede the attainment of absolute security and lasting peace.
Ludwig Quidde, German Critic (1858-1941)
Even a total and universal disarmament does not guarantee the maintenance of peace.
Ludwig Quidde, German Critic (1858-1941)
Disarmament or limitation of armaments, which depends on the progress made on security, also contributes to the maintenance of peace.
Ludwig Quidde, German Critic (1858-1941)
I won't undertake war until I have tried all the arts and means of peace.
Francois Rabelais, French Clergyman
You don't make peace with friends. You make it with very unsavory enemies.
Yitzhak Rabin, Israeli Statesman (1922-1995)
No Arab ruler will consider the peace process seriously so long as he is able to toy with the idea of achieving more by the way of violence.
Yitzhak Rabin, Israeli Statesman (1922-1995)
