- In a scheme of policy which is devised for a nation, we should not limit our views to its operation during a single year, or even for a short term of years. We should look at its operation for a considerable time, and in war as well as in peace.
- Henry Clay (1777 - 1852)
- It is not our affluence, or our plumbing, or our clogged freeways that grip the imagination of others. Rather, it is the values upon which our system is built. These values imply our adherence not only to liberty and individual freedom, but also to international peace, law and order, and constructive social purpose. When we depart from these value, we do so at our peril.
- J. William Fulbright (1905 - ), Remarks in the Senate, June 29, 1961
- Wars are, of course, as a rule to be avoided; but they are far better than certain kinds of peace.

- If peace cannot be maintained with honor, it is no longer peace.
- John Russell, Speech, Greenock, England
- Peace can be a cover whereby evil men can perpetrate diabolical wrongs.
- John Foster Dulles
- To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace.
- George Washington (1732 - 1799)

- Albert Schweitzer (1875 - 1965)
- This is the true nature of home -- it is the place of Peace; the shelter, not only from injury, but from all terror, doubt and division.
- John Ruskin (1819 - 1900)
- Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more,
Or close the wall up with our English dead!
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility;
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger:
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood. - Shakespeare, King Henry V, Act III, Scene 1
- We can gain no lasting peace if we approach it with suspicion and mistrust or with fear. We can gain it only if we proceed with the understanding, the confidence, and the courage which flow from conviction.
- Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882 - 1945), Fourth Inaugural Address, Jan. 20, 1945
