its existence, the Peace Movement denies that governments know best; it stands
for a different order of priorities: the human race comes first.
-- Martha

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 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

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.

|
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 (1899-1977) |  |
 | "We
proclaim our commitment to continue to strive for the establishment of lasting
world peace."
-- Iccho Itoh |

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 |
| | "It
is important to remind young people that peace is the only victory."
--
Scarlett Johansson |
"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.
