"Peace is not the
product of terror or fear. Peace is not the silence of cemeteries. Peace is not
the silent result of violent repression. Peace is the generous, tranquil contribution
of all to the good of all. Peace is dynamism. Peace is generosity. It is right
and it is duty." -- Oscar

In the hearts of people today there is a deep longing for peace. When the true
spirit of peace is thoroughly dominant, it becomes an inner experience with unlimited
possibilities. Only when this really happens-- when the spirit of peace awakens
and takes possession of men's hearts, can humanity be saved from perishing.
-- Albert Schweitzer

to, because otherwise it's not going to be around.

Peace
is not an absence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence,
confidence, justice.
-- Benedict Spinoza (1632-1677)
