War Preserves

More From Thomas Hobbes

The peace we seek in the world is not the flimsy peace which is merely an interlude between wars, but a peace which can endure for generations to come. it is important that we understand both the necessity and the limitations of america's role in maintaining that peace. unless we in america work to preserve the peace, there will be no peace. unless we in america work to preserve freedom, there will be no freedom.
Peace War America
We can work on inner peace and world peace at the same time. on one hand, people have found inner peace by losing themselves in a cause larger than themselves, like the cause of world peace, because finding inner peace means coming from the self-centered life into the life centered in the good of the whole. on the other hand, one of the ways of working for world peace is to work for more inner peace, because world peace will never be stable until enough of us find inner peace to stabilize it.
Peace Mean Self
He that plays the king shall be welcome- his majesty shall have tribute of me; the adventurous knight shall use his foil and target; the lover shall not sigh gratis; the humorous man shall end his part in peace; the clown shall make those laugh whose lungs are tickle o' th' sere; and the lady shall say her mind freely, or the blank verse shall halt fort.
Kings Humorous Men
The united states, as the world knows, will never start a war. we do not want a war. we do not now expect a war. this generation of americans has already had enough - more than enough - of war and hate and oppression. we shall be prepared if others wish it. we shall be alert to try to stop it. but we shall also do our part to build a world of peace where the weak are safe and the strong are just. we are not helpless before that task or hopeless of its success. confident and unafraid, we labor on - not toward a strategy of annihilation but toward a strategy of peace.
Strong Hate War
If civilization is to survive, the principles of the prince of peace must be restored. shattered trust between nations must be revived. most important of all, the will for peace on the part of peace-loving nations must express itself to the end that nations that may be tempted to violate their agreements and the rights of others will desist from such a cause. there must be positive endeavors to preserve peace. america hates war. america hopes for peace. therefore, america actively engages in the search for peace.
Peace Hate War
Perhaps peace is not, after all, something you work for, or 'fight for.' it is indeed 'fighting for peace' that starts all the wars. what, after all, are the pretexts of all these cold war crises, but 'fighting for peace?' peace is something you have or do not have. if you are yourself at peace, then there is at least some peace in the world. then share your peace with everyone, and everyone will be at peace.
War Fighting World
