Favorite Quotations

A few of my favorite peace and justice quotations:

Peace, to have meaning for many who have only known suffering in both peace and war, must be translated into bread or rice, shelter, health and education, as well as freedom and human dignity.
-- Ralph Johnson Bunche (1904-1971)

Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding.
-- Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

There was never a good war or a bad peace.
-- Ben Franklin (1706-1790)

Peace may sound simple - one beautiful word - but it requires everything we have, every quality, every strength, every dream, every high ideal.
-- Yehudi Menuhin (1916-1999)

Establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all politics can do is keep us out of war.
-- Maria Montessori (1870-1952)

If you want peace, work for justice.
-- Pope Paul VI (1897-1978)
