Albert Einstein

Our schoolbooks glorify war and hide its horrors. They inculcate hatred in the veins of the children. I would teach peace rather than war. I would inculcate love rather than hate.

Children | Hate | Love | Peace | Teach | War | Wisdom |

Unless the cause of peace based on law gathers behind it the force and zeal of a religion, it hardly can hope to succeed.

Cause | Force | Hope | Law | Peace | Religion | Wisdom | Zeal |

Thomas Dreier

All progress is made by men of faith who believe in what is right and, what is more important, actually do what is right in their own private affairs. You cannot add to the peace and goodwill of the world if you fail to create an atmosphere of harmony and love right where you live and work.

Faith | Harmony | Important | Love | Men | Peace | Progress | Right | Wisdom | Work | World |

Albert Einstein

In war it serves that we may poison and mutilate each other. In peace it has made our lives hurried and uncertain. Instead of freeing us in great measure from spiritually exhausting labor, it has made men into slaves of machinery, who for the most part complete their monotonous long days' work with disgust and must continually tremble for their poor rations.

Labor | Men | Peace | War | Wisdom | Work |

Frederic Eggleston, fully Sir Frederic William Eggleston

The great task of peace is to work morals into it. The only sort of peace that will be real is one in which everybody takes his share or responsibility. World organizations and conferences will be of no value unless there is improvement in the relation of men to men.

Improvement | Men | Peace | Responsibility | Will | Wisdom | Work | World | Value |

Albert Einstein

François Fénelon, fully Francois de Salignac de la Mothe-Fénelon

How different the peace of god from that of the world! It calms the passions, preserves the purity of conscience, is inseparable from righteousness, unites us to God and strengthens us against temptations. The peace of the soul consists in an absolute resignation to the will of God.

Absolute | Conscience | God | Peace | Purity | Resignation | Righteousness | Soul | Will | Wisdom | World | God |

Felix Frankfurter

Government... is neither business, nor technology, nor applied science. It is the art of making men live together in peace and with reasonable happiness.

Anatole France, pen name of Jacques Anatole Francois Thibault

Universal peace will be realized, not because man will become better, but because a new order of things, a new science, new economic necessities, will impose peace.

Better | Man | Order | Peace | Science | Will | Wisdom |

Harry Emerson Fosdick

No one can get inner peace by pouncing on it, by vigorously willing to have it. Peace is a margin of power around our daily need. Peace is a consciousness of springs too deep for earthly droughts to dry up. Peace is an awareness of reserves from beyond ourselves, so that our power is not so much in us as through us.

Awareness | Consciousness | Need | Peace | Power | Wisdom | Awareness |

Francis J. Gable

The thing for which we prepare and which we earnestly expect usually comes upon us. Food is prepared to be eaten; clothing is made to be worn; munitions of war are produced to be used in warfare. Just as truly, preparations made for purposes of peace help to bring about the peaceful condition for which they are prepared.

Peace | War | Wisdom |

Martha Gellhorn, fully Martha Ellis Gellhorn

By its existence, the Peace Movement denies that governments know best; it stands for a different order of priorities: the human race comes first.

Existence | Human race | Order | Peace | Race | Wisdom |
