I grew up in war and saw the United Nations help my country to recover and rebuild. That experience was a big part of what led me to pursue a career in public service.

Climate change, in some regions, has aggravated conflict over scarce land, and could well trigger large-scale migration in the decades ahead.

India is a bridge-builder, an honest broker, and a messenger of peace.

If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliche that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that’s his problem. Love and peace are eternal.

Kelly Clarkson
It is absolutely necessary, for the peace and safety of mankind, that some of earth’s dark, dead corners and unplumbed depths be let alone; lest sleeping abnormalities wake to resurgent life, and blasphemously surviving nightmares squirm and splash out of their black lairs to newer and wider conquests.
H. P. Lovecraft
None of the abstract concepts comes closer to fulfilled utopia than that of eternal peace.

Nelson Mandela
We must fight for peace bravely as we fought in war.

Guy Finley
The Charter of the United Nations expresses the noblest aspirations of man: abjuration of force in the settlement of disputes between states; the assurance of human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language or religion; the safeguarding of international peace and security.

An unjust peace is better than a just war.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

John Wooden
There aren’t always answers for the questions you’re looking for, so I have to make peace with that sometimes.
Kathleen Edwards
Peace is not a state – it is a choice, and you have to remake it every day. It’s possible to get a sort of stability, a habit of peace, but it’s like an egg balanced, spinning, on its point: lose your momentum, and your equilibrium is gone, too.
Nick Harkaway
Peace on earth would mean the end of civilization as we know it.
Joseph Heller
God made the world for us to live together in peace and not fight.
Samantha Smith

Ludwig von Mises
To insure peace of mind ignore the rules and regulations.
George Ade
The methods of peace propaganda which aim at establishing peace doctrine by argument and by creating a feeling favorable to peace in general seem to fall short of reaching the springs of human action and of dealing with the causes of the conduct which they seek to modify.
Elihu Root
Now, I have always believed that women are not victims; we are agents of change, we are drivers of progress, we are makers of peace – all we need is a fighting chance.

Ellen DeGeneres
Peace is not made at the council table or by treaties, but in the hearts of men.
Herbert Hoover
The most disadvantageous peace is better than the most just war.
Desiderius Erasmus
There are things about organized religion which I resent. Christ is revered as the Prince of Peace, but more blood has been shed in His name than any other figure in history. You show me one step forward in the name of religion, and I’ll show you a hundred retrogressions.
Frank Sinatra
I despise all those who fight for peace. It’s only the bad guys and the troublemakers who create entertaining and history-changing events.
Ram Gopal Varma

Angela Ahrendts
Peace secured by slavish submission is not peace.
Kim Il-sung
Peace is not only better than war, but infinitely more arduous.

Rwanda was considered a second-class operation; because it was a small country, we had been able to maintain a kind of status quo. They were negotiating, they’d accepted the new peace project, so we were under the impression that everything would be solved easily.

Peace is not a luxury. Peace is a necessity.
Ashraf Ghani
Be good, keep your feet dry, your eyes open, your heart at peace and your soul in the joy of Christ.

Good wishes alone will not ensure peace.
Alfred Nobel
Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all.

Ovid
Society has arisen out of the works of peace; the essence of society is peacemaking.

The simplification of life is one of the steps to inner peace. A persistent simplification will create an inner and outer well-being that places harmony in one’s life.
Peace Pilgrim
Without free, self-respecting, and autonomous citizens there can be no free and independent nations. Without internal peace, that is, peace among citizens and between the citizens and the state, there can be no guarantee of external peace.
Vaclav Havel
That a man be willing, when others are so too, as far forth as for peace and defense of himself he shall think it necessary, to lay down this right to all things; and be contented with so much liberty against other men, as he would allow other men against himself.

To deal with these problems – of world population and hunger, of peace, of energy and mineral resources, of environmental pollution, of poverty – we must broaden and deepen our knowledge of nature’s laws, and we must broaden and deepen our understanding of the laws of human behavior.

Having a mind that is open to everything and attached to nothing seems to me to be one of the most basic principles that you can adopt to contribute to individual and world peace.
Wayne Dyer
The word ‘Islam’ means ‘peace.’ The word ‘Muslim’ means ‘one who surrenders to God.’ But the press makes us seem like haters.
Muhammad Ali

Jeane Kirkpatrick
Harmony makes small things grow, lack of it makes great things decay.
Sallust
But if Russia is to be part of this larger zone of peace it cannot bring into it its imperial baggage. It cannot bring into it a policy of genocide against the Chechens, and cannot kill journalists, and it cannot repress the mass media.
Zbigniew Brzezinski
Just as ‘Islam’ literally means ‘peace,’ none of the 99 names of Allah mean violence. Similarly, every religion in the world stands for peace, compassion, and brotherhood.
Sushma Swaraj
My long struggles as a soldier of the Chinese Revolution have forced me to realize the necessity of facing hard facts. There will be neither peace, nor hope, nor future for any of us unless we honestly aim at political, social and economic justice for all peoples of the world, great and small.

Trevor Huddleston
If some peoples pretend that history or geography gives them the right to subjugate other races, nations, or peoples, there can be no peace.

War is tragedy. The great war stories are tragedies. It’s the failure of diplomacy. ‘War and Peace,’ ‘A Farewell to Arms,’ ‘For Whom the Bell Tolls.’ Those are some of the greatest tragedies.
David Mamet
Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures.
John F. Kennedy
Civilization is a failure. We need to think what we can do together in love and peace.
Serj Tankian

Coretta Scott King
There will be no lasting peace either in the heart of individuals or in social customs until death is outlawed.
Albert Camus
In my opinion, if we have not achieved peace, it is because people forget its most fundamental aspect. Before we talk about peace among nations, we must settle our peace with God.
Sun Myung Moon
I am thankful the most important key in history was invented. It’s not the key to your house, your car, your boat, your safety deposit box, your bike lock or your private community. It’s the key to order, sanity, and peace of mind. The key is ‘Delete.’

Benazir Bhutto
Nothing is more conducive to peace of mind than not having any opinion at all.
Georg C. Lichtenberg
Happiness, true happiness, is an inner quality. It is a state of mind. If your mind is at peace, you are happy. If your mind is at peace, but you have nothing else, you can be happy. If you have everything the world can give – pleasure, possessions, power – but lack peace of mind, you can never be happy.
Dada Vaswani
Some men know that a light touch of the tongue, running from a woman’s toes to her ears, lingering in the softest way possible in various places in between, given often enough and sincerely enough, would add immeasurably to world peace.
Marianne Williamson
I always see gardening as escape, as peace really. If you are angry or troubled, nothing provides the same solace as nurturing the soil.

Benito Juarez
One can not reflect in streaming water. Only those who know internal peace can give it to others.

Joan Jett
It is an unfortunate fact that we can secure peace only by preparing for war.
John F. Kennedy
Without justice, the most heinous crimes go unpunished; victims are unable to obtain redress, and peace remains an elusive goal, since impunity generates more hatred, leading to acts of revenge and more suffering.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
If they want peace, nations should avoid the pin-pricks that precede cannon shots.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I think that American women are further along than any other women in the world. But you can’t have peace in a world in which some women or some men or some nations are at different stages of development. There is so much work to be done.
Alice Paul
In a few decades, the relationship between the environment, resources and conflict may seem almost as obvious as the connection we see today between human rights, democracy and peace.
Wangari Maathai
I’ve always had questions about what it meant to be a protester, to be in the minority. Are the people who are trying to find peace, who are trying to have the Constitution apply to everybody, are they really the radicals? We’re not protesting from the outside. We’re inside.
Gil Scott-Heron
I would sacrifice peace in order to win sovereignty for Bosnia, but for that peace in Bosnia, I would not sacrifice sovereignty.

Barack Obama

Baruch Spinoza
Love, peace and soul.
Don Cornelius
There’s nothing like the peace of the countryside, the quiet and the lack of distraction. It helps you to focus your mind.
Jenny Nimmo
I know that military alliances and armament have been the reliance for peace for centuries, but they do not produce peace; and when war comes, as it inevitably does under such conditions, these armaments and alliances but intensify and broaden the conflict.
Frank B. Kellogg
Tolerance, like any aspect of peace, is forever a work in progress, never completed, and, if we’re as intelligent as we like to think we are, never abandoned.
Octavia E. Butler
For too many of our citizens, Christianity has become entwined with the ecstatic worship of the gun and violence. For the adherents, there is no compassion, no love thy neighbor, no peace, no reason, and God only helps those who arm themselves.
Paul G. Tremblay
Peace, for us, is an asset and in our interest. It is an absolute human asset that allows an individual to freely develop his individuality unbound by any regional, religious, or ethnic fetters.
Yasser Arafat
Water is always a support or a healing thing apart from, you know, love or peace of mind.

Tom Lehrer
If virtue promises happiness, prosperity and peace, then progress in virtue is progress in each of these for to whatever point the perfection of anything brings us, progress is always an approach toward it.
Epictetus
Radiohead and Our Lady Peace are doing the seven layers of guitar, and I kind of jumped on that before anyone else did.
Billy Corgan
When I was elected President nobody asked me to negotiate between Israel and Egypt. It was not even a question raised in my campaign. But I felt that one of the reasons that I was elected President was to try to bring peace to the Holy Land.
Jimmy Carter
We need to say that women have sex, have abortions, are at peace with the decision, and move on with their lives. We need to say that is their right, and, moreover, it’s good for everyone that they have this right: The whole society benefits when motherhood is voluntary.
Katha Pollitt
Only by addressing the root causes of conflict and disputes can we hope to find lasting peace in a just and equitable world.
Mwai Kibaki
I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace.

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

Sai Baba
My dream is to live a good life and be loving, be close to God and be a good human being and bring peace to people.

When life doesn’t make sense, we can still have peace.
Rick Warren
When we respect everybody around us, we are in peace with everybody around us.
Don Miguel Ruiz
Peace without justice is tyranny.
William Allen White
The myth of redemptive violence – Caesar, peace, and victory – is in people’s bones so deeply, we aren’t even aware of it. You crush the opposition; that’s how we bring peace.
Rob Bell
If you hit a Talib with your shoe, then there would be no difference between you and the Talib. You must not treat others with cruelty and that much harshly, you must fight others but through peace and through dialogue and through education.

The measure of success is happiness and peace of mind.
Bobby Davro
We must all make peace so that we can all live in peace.

Andre Gide
I have long been an advocate for peace and human rights in Canada and around the globe.
Jagmeet Singh
Future peace, prosperity and confidence depend not just on ourselves but on the success of all nations. Hence, we are all partners, no matter what our backgrounds, cultures, faiths and histories.
Hassanal Bolkiah
The mere assemblage of peace loving people to interchange convincing reasons for their common faith, mere exhortation and argument to the public in favor of peace in general fall short of the mark.

Lech Walesa
The greatest injustice in the world is to bring a child into the world, and not be able to offer it peace.
Nafisa Joseph

God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.
C. S. Lewis
Peace is the cornerstone of our development.

Georg Buchner
My father was the superintendent of the churches in the state of Montana. He was content in his beliefs. He befit the term ‘true Christian.’ He would turn the other cheek. He was truly a man of peace.
Phil Jackson
I believe in the Prince of Peace. I believe that War is Murder. I believe that armies and navies are at bottom the tinsel and braggadocio of oppression and wrong, and I believe that the wicked conquest of weaker and darker nations by nations whiter and stronger but foreshadows the death of that strength.
W. E. B. Du Bois
Balance, peace, and joy are the fruit of a successful life. It starts with recognizing your talents and finding ways to serve others by using them.
Thomas Kinkade
My favourite country is Finland because once you get to a certain point, you can drive for hours without seeing a single person. I love peace and quiet – something I don’t get very often.

Shirley MacLaine
When you can whip any man in the world, you never know peace.
Muhammad Ali
The Lord has done what I wanted Him to do this week. I wanted, primarily, peace about going into pioneer Indian work. And as I analyze my feelings now, I feel quite at ease about saying that tribal work in South American jungles is the general direction of my missionary purpose.

I call for a march from exploitation to education, from poverty to shared prosperity, a march from slavery to liberty, and a march from violence to peace.

Sri Chinmoy
Politics is about the improvement of people’s lives. It’s about advancing the cause of peace and justice in our country and the world. Politics is about doing well for the people.
Paul Wellstone
Though force can protect in emergency, only justice, fairness, consideration and cooperation can finally lead men to the dawn of eternal peace.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Desmond Tutu
Remember, each one of us has the power to change the world. Just start thinking peace, and the message will spread quicker than you think.

Mariel Hemingway
Intervention only works when the people concerned seem to be keen for peace.
Nelson Mandela
Sometimes you can find peace of mind by transferring yourself to different situations. They’re just reminders to stay… calm.
Yves Behar
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.
Colin Powell
The hippies wanted peace and love. We wanted Ferraris, blondes and switchblades.
Alice Cooper
The idea that the EU is somehow the guarantor of peace on the continent – that is in itself rash, in my view, and risks undermining the vital role of Nato.
Boris Johnson
Weird people follow you in the streets, you can’t sit alone in a restaurant or a cafe and read a book in peace, and I think everybody values those moments of being alone.
Winona Ryder

Kenichi Fukui
Peace and not war is the father of all things.
Ludwig von Mises
I do believe in God. But you won’t find me visiting temples every now and then. I believe in self-realization. Peace of mind matters a lot to me. What’s the point in doing something just for the sake of it? I’d rather do something I like doing as long as I’m being true to myself.
Virat Kohli
I do not want war. I am not seeking revenge, even though I can see before my eyes the great sacrifices made by the Ukrainian people. I am seeking peace and will achieve Ukraine’s unity.

The forces that are driving mankind toward unity and peace are deep-seated and powerful. They are material and natural, as well as moral and intellectual.
