QUTOES
"If
the attainment of peace is the ultimate objective of all statesmen, it is, at
the same time, something very ordinary, closely tied to the daily life of each
individual. In familiar terms, it is the condition that allows each individual
and his family to pursue, without fear, the purpose of their lives. It is only
in such circumstances that each individual will be able to devote himself, without
the loss of hope for the future of mankind, to the education of his children,
to an attempt to leave upon the history of mankind the imprint of his own creative
and constructive achievement in the arts, culture, religion, and other activities
fulfilling social aspirations. This is the peace which is essential for all individuals,
peoples, nations, and thus for the whole of humanity."
