Even peace may be purchased at too high a price.

In a false quarrel there is no true valor.

Olympics for me is love, peace, united.

God made and governs the world invisibly, and has commanded us to love and worship him and no other God; to honor our parents and masters, and love our neighbours as ourselves; and to be temperate, just, and peaceable, and to be merciful even to brute beasts.

Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding.

I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace.

Any negotiated, peaceful solution to the problems between the United States and peoples, or any people of Latin America, which does not imply force or the use of force, must be addressed in accordance with international principles and norms.

The man who can centre his thoughts and hopes upon something transcending self can find a certain peace in the ordinary troubles of life, which is impossible to the pure egoist.

Nowhere is it written that there must be conflict between the United States and China.

You have to make sure you know why you are going to war and then use decisive force to end it as soon as possible.

In my view of the present aspect of affairs, there is no need of bloodshed and war. There is no necessity for it. I am not in favor of such a course, and I may say in advance, there will be no blood shed unless it be forced upon the government. The government will not use force unless force is used against it.

Notifying the enemy in advance of our withdrawal dates or reassuring the enemy that we will not use certain capabilities like our ground forces should be avoided.

Peace is its own reward.

Insults are the arguments employed by those who are in the wrong.

I am rather inclined to silence.

Peace is not only better than war, but infinitely more arduous.

It isn’t enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to believe in it. One must work at it.

Acceptance looks like a passive state, but in reality it brings something entirely new into this world. That peace, a subtle energy vibration, is consciousness.

Give a child love, laughter and peace, not AIDS.

I think war is so incredibly backward, and I don’t think it’s intelligent, and it’s not sane. So why would you want to support it?

Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.

Let us move from the era of confrontation to the era of negotiation.

To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving peace.

I do not believe we will have a war with Iran.

Unless both sides win, no agreement can be permanent.

Treating your adversary with respect is striking soft in battle.

War is never a solution; it is an aggravation.

Whoever seeks to set one religion against another seeks to destroy all religion.

There was one incident at a movie theater where my girl got mad at these guys who were talking behind us. I never looked back there, but she was like, ‚Will you all just shut up!‘ And I just got up and moved three rows in front. She was like, ‚What are you doing?!‘ I was like, ‚You better get up here! I don’t play the fighting games.‘

To be clear: we have fights and problems like any other couple.

Quarrel? Nonsense; we have not quarreled. If one is not to get into a rage sometimes, what is the good of being friends?

If there is not the war, you don’t get the great general; if there is not a great occasion, you don’t get a great statesman; if Lincoln had lived in a time of peace, no one would have known his name.

Smiling is very important. If we are not able to smile, then the world will not have peace. It is not by going out for a demonstration against nuclear missiles that we can bring about peace. It is with our capacity of smiling, breathing, and being peace that we can make peace.

You either get tired fighting for peace, or you die.

We are going to have peace even if we have to fight for it.

Let us recollect that peace or war will not always be left to our option; that however moderate or unambitious we may be, we cannot count upon the moderation, or hope to extinguish the ambition of others.

The most peaceable way for you, if you do take a thief, is, to let him show himself what he is and steal out of your company.

Sports are such a great teacher. I think of everything they’ve taught me: camaraderie, humility, how to resolve differences.

My position has always been, along with many other people, that any differences be resolved in a nonviolent way.

Remind yourself that winning an argument or proving your point really gets you nowhere in the long run. Win through your actions, not your words.

It’s a lose-lose situation to get in a confrontation on the street. If you can break contact and get away, break contact and get away. That’s what you should learn self-defense for.

Where there is righteousness in the heart, there is beauty in the character. When there is beauty in the character, there is harmony in the home. When there is harmony in the home, there is order in the nation. When there is order in the nation, there is peace in the world.

I am prepared to die, but there is no cause for which I am prepared to kill.

Both times I was in India, I could not get people to listen to each other. I had to literally tell people to listen to each other and tell them that they can’t get creative and find alternate solutions if they don’t listen to each other. There’s a lot of arguing and justifying.

Disagreement is something normal.

The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.

Peace is a journey of a thousand miles and it must be taken one step at a time.

War should be the only study of a prince. He should consider peace only as a breathing-time, which gives him leisure to contrive, and furnishes as ability to execute, military plans.

Non-violence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our being.

The United States fully accepts the profound truth that our own progress, prosperity, and peace are interlocked with the progress, prosperity, and peace of all humanity.

Politics are very much like war. We may even have to use poison gas at times.

I have known war as few men now living know it. It’s very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a means of settling international disputes.

Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind.

Patriots always talk of dying for their country and never of killing for their country.

People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Nothing is ever done in this world until men are prepared to kill one another if it is not done.

No religion has mandated killing others as a requirement for its sustenance or promotion.

Wars based on principle are far more destructive… the attacker will not destroy that which he is after.

Sometimes I just sit still and enjoy God’s presence.

I have a scheme for stopping war. It’s this – no nation is allowed to enter a war till they have paid for the last one.

Those who can win a war well can rarely make a good peace and those who could make a good peace would never have won the war.
