As a privileged survivor of the First World War I hope I may be allowed to interject here a deeply felt tribute to those who were not fortunate enough to succeed but who shared the signal honor of trying to the last to salvage peace.

Every animal has his or her story his or her thoughts daydreams and interests. All feel joy and love pain and fear as we now know beyond any shadow of a doubt. All deserve that the human animal afford them the respect of being cared for with great consideration for those interests or left in peace.

I share the opinion of those of broader vision who see in the signs of the time hope of humanity for peace.

Under the auspices of peace our comprehensive renaissance will be built and it will be a model for those who wish to emulate it in the greater Arab homeland.

Wars begin in the minds of men and in those minds love and compassion would have built the defenses of peace.

The Disarmament Conference has become the focal point of a great struggle between anarchy and world order... between those who think in terms of inevitable armed conflict and those who seek to build a universal and durable peace.

But while we all pray for peace we do not always as free citizens support the policies that make for peace or reject those which do not. We want our own kind of peace brought about in our own way.

Those who have experienced the most have suffered so much that they have ceased to hate. Hate is more for those with a slightly guilty conscience and who by chewing on old hate in times of peace wish to demonstrate how great they were during the war.

Little things seem nothing but they give peace like those meadow flowers which individually seem odorless but all together perfume the air.

We receive His peace when we ask Him for it. We keep His peace by extending it to others. Those are the keys and there are no others.

I get those fleeting beautiful moments of inner peace and stillness - and then the other 23 hours and 45 minutes of the day I'm a human trying to make it through in this world.

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

Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace.

Those who are at war with others are not at peace with themselves.

The real and lasting victories are those of peace and not of war.

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

We need a type of patriotism that recognizes the virtues of those who are opposed to us.

Unfortunately our history has abundant examples of patriotism being used to hurt those who express views in disagreement with that of the majority.

If terror groups are to be defeated it is national governments that will have to do so. In nations like India governments will have to call on the patriotism of citizens to fight the terrorists. In a nation like Pakistan the government will have to be persuaded to deal with those in their midst who are complicit.

In every society in human history including the United States those in power seek to imbue themselves with the attributes of religion and patriotism as a way of getting greater support for their policy and insulating themselves from any criticism.

The aspects of patriotism that hush dissent encourage going along and sanction comfortable distancing and compliance with what is indecent and unacceptable... those aspects are too fundamental to ignore or gloss over.

There are those who wrap themselves in flags and blow the tinny trumpet of patriotism as a means of fooling the people.

Tolerance compromise understanding acceptance patience - I want those all to be very sharp tools in my shed.

The strong manly ones in life are those who understand the meaning of the word patience.
