QUOTES

Let us have peace, security, a restoration of confidence in humanity and a better world

"We want simply to live in peace
We want to raise up our children
And save our brothers and sisters...
We want our families to remain whole.
Let us walk out of our isolation and join one another.
Let us walk out of our tears and screams of pain."

True peace is not only the silence of guns, the absence of violence or the end to the state of war. On this principle we act to pursue our goal

Centuries ago, Spinoza said "Peace was not the absence of war but a disposition for benevolence, truth and justice". This definition shows how much the individual can achieve in his daily life in the name of peace.
