We shall find peace. We shall hear the angels, we shall see the sky parkling with diamonds
Anton Chekhov (1860 - 1904), 1897
We make war that we may live in peace
Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC), Nichomachean Ethics
Peace is not an absence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice
(Baruch Spinoza (1632 - 1677
The name of peace is sweet, and the thing itself is beneficial, but there is a great difference between peace and servitude. Peace is freedom in tranquillity, servitude is the worst of all evils, to be resisted not only by war, but even by death
Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC)
Let him who desires peace prepare for war
Flavius Vegetius Renatus (~375 AD), De Rei Militari
You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom
Malcolm X (1925 - 1965), Malcolm X Speaks, 1965
