Let peace descending from her native heaven bid her olives spring amidst the joyful nations and plenty in league with commerce scatter blessings from her copious hand!
He would see civilization in danger of perishing under the oppression of a gigantic paradox: he would see multitudes of people starving in the midst of plenty and nations preparing for war although pledged to peace.
If you do your research on hot springs all over the world they're usually places of peace. People even in warring nations and so forth they'll go and live in peace together around the hot springs which were always considered medicinal. I firmly believe in water therapy.
The United Nations will be at the heart of our international activities. France will assume its full responsibilities at the Security Council by putting its status at the service of peace respect for human rights and development.
Without free self-respecting and autonomous citizens there can be no free and independent nations. Without internal peace that is peace among citizens and between the citizens and the state there can be no guarantee of external peace.
The Palestinians want a state but they have to give peace in return. What they're trying to do in the United Nations is to get a state without giving Israel peace or giving Israel peace and security. And I think that's that's wrong. That should not succeed. That should that should fail.
After four years at the United Nations I sometimes yearn for the peace and tranquility of a political convention.
In my opinion if we have not achieved peace it is because people forget its most fundamental aspect. Before we talk about peace among nations we must settle our peace with God.
We know that dictators are quick to choose aggression while free nations strive to resolve differences in peace.
Peace is not a relationship of nations. It is a condition of mind brought about by a serenity of soul. Peace is not merely the absence of war. It is also a state of mind. Lasting peace can come only to peaceful people.
If they want peace nations should avoid the pin-pricks that precede cannon shots.
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.
Each nation feels superior to other nations. That breeds patriotism - and wars.
Speaking from my experience as a person involved for a long time in building the European Union it is important to have patience and efforts to build a community of nations.
Patience means restraining one's inclinations.
Human nature is such that people are born with a love of profit If they follow these inclinations they will struggle and snatch from each other and inclinations to defer or yield will die.
There is but one law for all namely that law which governs all law the law of our Creator the law of humanity justice equity - the law of nature and of nations.
The most beautiful as well as the most ugly inclinations of man are not part of a fixed biologically given human nature but result from the social process which creates man.
Poetry fettered fetters the human race. Nations are destroyed or flourish in proportion as their poetry painting and music are destroyed or flourish.
I was shocked by the amount of Welsh people in L.A. We'd go to this British pub to watch the 'Six Nations' early in the morning and I remember the first time I walked in it was just a sea of red.
One morning just like 9/11 there's going to be a disaster. I have yet to see the United Nations do anything effective with either Iran or North Korea.
My story is the story of countless millions of children whose families and nations were torn apart for money in the name of Jesus Christ.
Money again has often been a cause of the delusion of the multitudes. Sober nations have all at once become desperate gamblers and risked almost their existence upon the turn of a piece of paper.
A fascist is one whose lust for money or power is combined with such an intensity of intolerance toward those of other races parties classes religions cultures regions or nations as to make him ruthless in his use of deceit or violence to attain his ends.
Money not morality is the principle commerce of civilized nations.
I am sure that if the mothers of various nations could meet there would be no more wars.
Men's ideas are the most direct emanations of their material state.
There can never be peace between nations until there is first known that true peace which is within the souls of men.
It is not materialism that is the chief curse of the world as pastors teach but idealism. Men get into trouble by taking their visions and hallucinations too seriously.
The Hebrews have done more to civilize men than any other nation. If I were an atheist and believed blind eternal fate I should still believe that fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing the nations.
