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
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"
I devoutly believe in the reign of peace and in the gradual advent of some sort of socialistic equilibrium. The fatalistic view of the war function is to me nonsense, for I know that war-making is due to definite motives and subject to prudential checks and reasonable criticisms, just like any other form of enterprise. And when whole nations are the armies, and the science of destruction vies in intellectual refinement with the science of production, I see that war becomes absurd and impossible from its own monstrosity. Extravagant ambitions will have to be replaced by reasonable claims, and nations must make common cause against them.
WILLIAM JAMES
The Moral Equivalent of War
Peace is more important than all justice; and peace was not made for the sake of justice, but justice for the sake of peace.
MARTIN LUTHER
On Marriage
We discover peace, we unveil it. Peace is a discovery, not a conquest. It is the fruit of a revelation.
RAIMON PANIKKAR
Cultural Disarmament
Peace is the only battle worth waging.
ALBERT CAMUS
"After Hiroshima: Between Hell and Reason", Combat, August 8, 1945
Though the heart wear the garment of its sorrow
And be not happy like a naked star,
Yet from the thought of peace some peace we borrow,
Some rapture from the rapture felt afar.
GEORGE SANTAYANA
"Premonition", A Hermit of Carmel
Better to keep peace than to gain a victory.
IVAN PANIN
Thoughts
You have peace ... when you make it with yourself.
MITCH ALBOM
The Five People You Meet in Heaven
The best hope for peace in our world is the expansion of freedom in all the world.
GEORGE W. BUSH
2nd Inaugural Address, January 20, 2005
All true conflict should aim at peace.
HENRY WARD BEECHER
Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit
Peace is priceless, but not at any price.

Jesus this song you wrote
The words are sticking in my throat
Peace on Earth
Hear it every Christmas time
But hope and history won't rhyme
So what's it worth?
This peace on Earth
U2
"Peace on Earth"
Peace ... is a morbid condition, due to a surplus of civilians, which war seeks to remedy.
CYRIL CONNOLLY
The Condemned Playground
Peace is not something we work for. When we try our whole lives to build our own sphere of peace, we will always fall short. That is because peace is nothing more than a gift of God's grace. We do not earn peace, but God gives peace anyway.
PATRICK MABILOG
"Jesus promises peace, but why can't I feel it?", Christian Today, April 6, 2016
Lead them beside still waters because you know how badly they need still waters.
TENNESSEE WILLIAMS
The Night of the Iguana
None of the abstract concepts comes closer to fulfilled utopia than that of eternal peace.
THEODOR WIESENGRUND ADORNO
Minima Moralia
At the heart of happiness lies peace. It is the last and the highest attainment of the soul.
HUGH BLACK
Happiness
Peace is not merely the absence of visible conflict. Only a just peace based on the inherent rights and dignity of every individual can truly be lasting.
BARACK OBAMA
Nobel Lecture, December 10, 2009
