Peace often seems the one thing fair and desirable, so that the cloister or the forest, or the vessel on the lonesome sea, is the most grateful object of imagination.

Peace is the beginning of justice, not the end.
MORTON DEUTSCH
The Handbook of Conflict Resolution
All people have a desire for world peace in their hearts, and through compassion, they can come together to take action and make the world a more peaceful place.
MUHAMMED ALHASSAN YAKUBU

Peace renders nations happier and men weaker.
LUC DE CLAPIERS, MARQUIS DE VAUVENARGUES
Reflections and Maxims
Peace, n. In international affairs, a period of cheating between two periods of fighting.
AMBROSE BIERCE
The Devil's Dictionary
O that all human hearts might join the strain;
Then Hate, and Bigotry, and Sin would die;
Then Peace would reign and wear its olive crown,
And War with blood-stained feet no longer track
Earth's fair domain, or wave its crimson flag.
Then Pride would lay its flaunting mantle by;
The cry of Hunger cease--the oppressor's rod
Would scourge no more, but man be linked to man
In one unbroken chain of brotherhood.
ALBERT LAIGHTON
"The Love of God"
If we are to reach real peace in this world and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with children; and if they will grow up in their natural innocence, we won't have to struggle, we won't have to pass fruitless idle resolutions. But we shall go from love to love and peace to peace, until at last all the corners of the world are covered with that peace and love for which, consciously or unconsciously, the whole world is hungering.
MAHATMA GANDHI
Young India, November 19, 1931
The peace of our world is indivisible. As long as negative forces are getting the better of positive forces anywhere, we are all at risk.
AUNG SAN SUU KYI
Nobel Lecture, June 16, 2012
We discover peace, we unveil it. Peace is a discovery, not a conquest. It is the fruit of a revelation.
RAIMON PANIKKAR
Cultural Disarmament
Don't search for anything except peace. Try to calm the mind. Everything else will come on its own.

Peace. What a beautiful concept. What a rare commodity.
DARRELL HUCKABY
"Peace is all too rare a commodity these days", Online Athens, March 12, 2016
The soul, at peace, reflects the peace without,
Forgetting grief as sunset skies forget
The morning's transient shower.
EMMA LAZARUS
"Afternoon"
Peace, gentlemen, it is well known, does not come of its own accord, and neither does freedom. Peace has enemies. Peace must be won by the sword.
JOHN LE CARRÉ
The Mission Song
Military power serves the cause of security by making prohibitive the cost of any aggressive attack. It serves the cause of peace by holding up a shield behind which the patient constructive work of peace can go on.
DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER
State of the Union Address, January 9, 1958
Cannot swords be turned to plowshares? Can we and all nations not live in peace? In our obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. And yet, I ask you, is not an alien force already among us? What could be more alien to the universal aspirations of our peoples than war and the threat of war?
RONALD REAGAN
address to United Nations general assembly, September 21, 1987
Peace is the only battle worth waging.
ALBERT CAMUS
"After Hiroshima: Between Hell and Reason", Combat, August 8, 1945
Peace without Justice is a low estate,--
A coward cringing to an iron Fate!
But Peace through Justice is the great ideal,--
We'll pay the price of war to make it real.
HENRY VAN DYKE
"The Price of Peace"
We wish peace, but we wish the peace of justice, the peace of righteousness. We wish it because we think it is right and not because we are afraid.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT
Inaugural Address, March 4, 1905
Unless we find repose within ourselves, it is vain to seek it elsewhere.
HOSEA BALLOU
Edge-Tools of Speech
Can you conceive of anything that so represents the glory, and truth, and marvelousness of God's nature as the idea of peace?
