Quite frankly, Russian aggression in Ukraine and its illegal occupation of Crimea remind us that we still have a good deal more work to do to guarantee the strategic vision of a Europe whole, free and at peace.

We are moving towards a world that is reordering itself and that may appear more ordered at some periods of time, but I see no sign that we are moving towards a world order in my definition of it – namely, a system which is accepted, which is internalized by the majority of the key participants.

We will not waver; we will not tire; we will not falter, and we will not fail. Peace and Freedom will prevail.

For all who love freedom and peace, the world without Saddam Hussein’s regime is a better and safer place.

In a country with millions of people and cars going everywhere, the enemy is going to get a car bomb out there once in awhile.

Hundreds of thousands of American servicemen and women are deployed across the world in the war on terror. By bringing hope to the oppressed, and delivering justice to the violent, they are making America more secure.

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 United States is a violent military state. It’s been involved in military action all over the place.

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?

Take the diplomacy out of war and the thing would fall flat in a week.

It is true greatness to have in one the frailty of a man and the security of a god.

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things, man will not himself find peace.

Baldwin thought Europe was a bore, and Chamberlain thought it was only a greater Birmingham.

If the great American people will only keep their temper, on both sides of the line, the troubles will come to an end, and the question which now distracts the country will be settled just as surely as all other difficulties of like character which have originated in this government have been adjusted.

I was born in Europe… and I’ve traveled all over the world. I can tell you that there is no place, no country, that is more compassionate, more generous, more accepting, and more welcoming than the United States of America.

The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism.

The practice of peace and reconciliation is one of the most vital and artistic of human actions.

Peace begins with a smile.

Meditation is not to avoid society; it is to look deep to have the kind of insight you need to take action. To think that it is just to sit down and enjoy the calm and peace, is wrong.

Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none.

I consider myself to be as informed on American foreign policy as anyone in America.

We can’t afford to be killing one another.

The purposes of the United States should not be doubted. The Security Council resolutions will be enforced – the just demands of peace and security will be met – or action will be unavoidable. And a regime that has lost its legitimacy will also lose its power.

China and the U.S. need each other very badly. Yes, we should argue about some things, but it’s not an ‚us versus them,‘ it’s an ‚us and them‘ type scenario.

France had a policy, initiated by General de Gaulle, of trying to turn Europe into what was then called a ‚third force,‘ independent of the two superpowers, so Europe should pursue an independent course.

We make war that we may live in peace.

I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it.

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

If… many influential people have failed to understand, or have just forgotten, what we were up against in the Cold War and how we overcame it, they are not going to be capable of securing, let alone enlarging, the gains that liberty has made.

Peace is its own reward.

This was not an act of terrorism, but it was an act of war.

Even a paranoid can have enemies.

We have a firm commitment to NATO, we are a part of NATO. We have a firm commitment to Europe. We are a part of Europe.

Fifty years of isolating Cuba had failed to promote democracy, setting us back in Latin America. That’s why we restored diplomatic relations, opened the door to travel and commerce, and positioned ourselves to improve the lives of the Cuban people.

Every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with peace, joy and serenity.

I was in Europe and it was at this stage that I fell in love with Americans in uniform. And I continue to have that love affair.

Peace and justice are two sides of the same coin.

Peace is one of the most precious gifts God has promised His children.

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.

In defense of our persons and properties under actual violation, we took up arms. When that violence shall be removed, when hostilities shall cease on the part of the aggressors, hostilities shall cease on our part also.

Our peace shall stand as firm as rocky mountains.

Indeed, we’re strongest when the face of America isn’t only a soldier carrying a gun but also a diplomat negotiating peace, a Peace Corps volunteer bringing clean water to a village, or a relief worker stepping off a cargo plane as floodwaters rise.

A peace is of the nature of a conquest; for then both parties nobly are subdued, and neither party loser.

An artist has no home in Europe except in Paris.

Learned Institutions ought to be favorite objects with every free people. They throw that light over the public mind which is the best security against crafty and dangerous encroachments on the public liberty.

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.

Israel is guilty of apartheid and persecution of the Palestinian people, both inside Israel and also in the Occupied Territories.

The many questions about the bombing of Yugoslavia by the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation – meaning primarily the United States – come down to two fundamental issues: ‚What are the accepted and applicable ‚rules of world order,‘ and how do these apply in the case of Kosovo?‘

War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other’s children.
