"May
peace rule the universe; may peace rule in kingdoms and
empires; may peace rule in states and in the lands of the
potentates; may peace rule in the house of friends and may
peace also rule in the house of enemies"
-- Virchand Gandhi (1864-1901)
By
its existence, the Peace Movement denies that governments
know best; it stands for a different order of priorities:
the human race comes first.
-- Martha Gellhorn
It
is easier to lead men to combat and to stir up their passions than to temper them
and urge them to the patient labors of peace.
--Andre Gide

The pursuit
of peace and progress cannot end in a few years in either victory or defeat. The
pursuit of peace and progress, with its trials and errors, its successes and setbacks,
can never be relaxed and never abandoned.
--Dag
Hammarskjold |

Peace
is more than just absence of war. It is rather a state in which no people of any
country, in fact no group of people of any kind live in fear or in need.
-- Poul Hartling

What greater
cause and what more splendid adventure can be set before the youth of the world
than the endeavor to bring into being that age-old dream of saints and sages -
the great Commonwealth of the World as the visible embodiment of the brotherhood
of man?
-- Arthur
Henderson |

When the
power of love overcomes
the love of power the world will know peace.
-- Jimi Hendrix |
"Peace
is the absence of war, but beyond that peace is a commodity unlike any other.
Peace is security. Peace is a mindset. Peace is a way of living. Peace is the
capacity to transcend past hurts -- to break cycles of violence and forge new
pathways that say, “I would like to make sure we live as a community where there
is justice, security, and development for all members.” At the end of the day,
peace is an investment; it is something you create by investing in a way of life
and monitoring where your resources go."
-- Noeleen Heyzer
 | There
has always been a longing in the human heart for a more just, free, loving and
creative society. But it was never before possible to fulfill these aspirations,
because we had neither the evolutionary drivers and global crises to force us
to change, nor did we have the scientific and technological powers that can free
us from the limitations of scarcity, poverty, disease, and ignorance. This is
the time of awakening for the social potential movement.
-- Barbara
Marx Hubbard |
| Every
moment is an organizing opportunity, every person a potential activist, every
minute a chance to change the world.-- Dolores
Huerta |

No
achievement can be higher than that of working in
harmony with other nations so that the lash of war
may be lifted from our backs and a peace of lasting
friendship descend upon us.
-- Cordell Hull

The basis of peace and stability,
in any society, has to be the fullest respect for the human rights of all its
people.
-- John Hume
|
The
pursuit of peace resembles the building of a great cathedral. It is the work of
a generation. In concept it requires a mater-architect; in execution, the labors
of many.
-- Hubert
Humphrey |

The
goal toward which all history tends is peace, not
peace through the medium of war, not peace through
a process of universal intimidation, not peace through
a program of mutual impoverishment, not peace by any
means that leaves the world too weak or too frightened
to go on fighting, but peace pure and simple based
on that will to peace which has animated the overwhelming
majority of mankind through countless ages. This will
to peace does not arise out of a cowardly desire to
preserve one's life and property, but out of conviction
that the fullest development of the highest powers
of men can be achieved only in a world of peace. --
Robert Maynard Hutchins

Peace
is the alternative to war, and nonviolence should be seen as the antidote to violence,
not simply as its opposite. Nonviolence is more concerned with saving life than
with saving face.
-- Jesse
Jackson |

"There are
plenty of people who pray for peace but if praying were enough it would have come
to be."
-- Jewel |

"Peace
is a journey of a thousand miles and it must be taken one step at a time."
-- Lyndon B Johnson The
thing I would like to do most is to find somehow to bring peace to the world.
It has eluded me.
-- Lyndon Baines Johnson Quotes
