“Peace is not only better than war, but infinitely more arduous.”
George Bernard Shaw
“I am not only a pacifist but a militant pacifist. I am willing to fight for peace. Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war.”
Albert Einstein
“The triumphs of peace have been in some proximity to war. Whilst the hand was still familiar with the sword-hilt, whilst the habits of the camp were still visible in the port and complexion of the gentleman, his intellectual power culminated; the compression and tension of these stern conditions is a training for the finest and softest arts, and can rarely be compensated in tranquil times, except by some analogous vigor drawn from occupations as hardy as war.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“We give up leisure in order that we may have leisure, just as we go to war in order that we may have peace”
Aristotle
“What use are cartridges in battle? I always carry chocolate instead”
“There was never a good war or a bad peace.”
Benjamin Franklin
“An inglorious peace is better than a dishonorable war”
Mark Twain
