“The name of peace is sweet, and the thing itself is beneficial, but there is a great difference between peace and servitude. Peace is freedom in tranquility, servitude is the worst of all evils, to be resisted not only by war, but even by death.”“A crust eaten in peace is better than a banquet partaken in anxiety.”“He that would live in peace and at ease must not speak all he knows or all he sees.”“If there is to be any peace it will come through being, not having.”“Even peace may be purchased at too high a price. ”“If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.”“Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding.”“We make war that we may live in peace.”“An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.”“It is easier to lead men to combat, stirring up their passion, than to restrain them and direct them toward the patient labors of peace.”“Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it.”“A peace is of the nature of a conquest; for then both parties nobly are subdued, and neither party loser.”“Peace begins with a smile.”“All of us who are concerned for peace and triumph of reason and justice must be keenly aware how small an influence reason and honest good will exert upon events in the political field." “Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together. ”“There never was a good war, or a bad peace.”“He is happiest, be he king or peasant who finds peace in his home.”“How come the dove gets to be the peace symbol? How about the pillow? It has more feathers than the dove, and it doesn't have that dangerous beak.”“If I was the head of a country that lost a war, and I had to sign a peace treaty, just as I was signing I'd glance over the treaty and then suddenly act surprised. 'Wait a minute! I thought WE won!”“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains or slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take but as for me; give me liberty or give me death!”“Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy.”“The absence of war is not peace.”“I call upon the scientific community in our country, those who gave us nuclear weapons, to turn their great talents now to the cause of mankind and world peace: to give us the means of rendering these nuclear weapons impotent and obsolete.”“If peace is equated simply with the absence of war, it can become abject pacifism that turns the world over to the most ruthless.”“Success in highest and noblest form calls for peace of mind and enjoyment and happiness which comes only to the man who has found the work he likes best.”

“Patience is the companion of wisdom.” “Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering you own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them - every day begin the task anew.” “Our patience will achieve more than our force.” “Beware the fury of a patient man.” “All commend patience, but none can endure to suffer.” “Patience makes lighter What sorrow may not heal.” “If I have ever made any valuable discoveries, it has been owing more to patient attention, than to any other talent.” “Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold. For if you put on more clothes as the cold increases, it will have no power to hurt you. So in like manner you must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they will then be powerless to vex your mind.” “I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end." “There will be a time when loud-mouthed, incompetent people seem to be getting the best of you. When that happens, you only have to be patient and wait for them to self destruct. It never fails.”
“If you add a little to a little, and then do it again, soon that little shall be much.”
“Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.” “Regardless of how much patience we have, we would prefer never to use any of it.” “With time and patience, the mulberry leaf becomes satin.

“For one human being to love another that is perhaps the most difficult of our tasks; the ultimate, the last test and proof; the work for which all other work is but preparation.”“What greater thing is there for two human souls that to feel that they are joined... to strengthen each other... to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable memories.” “There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.” “Love cannot endure indifference. It needs to be wanted. Like a lamp, it needs to be fed out of the oil of another's heart, or its flame burns low.”“Love doesn't make the world go 'round...Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.”
“Religions are many and diverse, but reason and goodness are one.”
“Religion is the human response to being alive and having to die.”
“I prayed for twenty years but received no answer until I prayed with my legs.”
“When men destroy their old gods they will find new ones to take their place.”
“It may be that religion is dead, and if it is, we had better know it and set ourselves to try to discover other sources of moral strength before it is too late.”
“There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”“One doesn't discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.”“The important thing is this: To be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become.”“It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.”“Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties.”
