We learned that we could move others to take action ... Even though we couldn't stop the war, I discovered that I could be involved in the movement for peace and justice. From that day on I knew that I was going to be committed to working for change ... ~ Marla Ruzicka
Peace And Justice quotes by Marla Ruzicka
The world would be a paradise of peace and justice if global citizens shared a common definition of love which would guide our thoughts and action. ~ Bell Hooks
Peace And Justice quotes by Bell Hooks
The dead cannot cry out for justice; it is a duty of the living to do so for them. ~ Lois McMaster Bujold
Peace And Justice quotes by Lois McMaster Bujold
Every extension of the functions and power of the State beyond its primary duty of maintaining peace and justice should be scrutinized with jealous vigilance. ~ Ludwig Von Mises
Peace And Justice quotes by Ludwig Von Mises
As a teenager, I began to question the Great Christian Sorting System. My gay friends in high school were kind and funny and loved me, so I suspected that my church had placed them in the wrong category ... Injustices in the world needed to be addressed and not ignored. Christians weren't good; people who fought for peace and justice were good. I had been lied to, and in my anger at being lied to about the containers, I left the church. But it turns out, I hadn't actually escaped the sorting system. I had just changed the labels. ~ Nadia Bolz-Weber
Peace And Justice quotes by Nadia Bolz-Weber
We have lost a very important religious figure who dedicated his life to peace and justice for all. [on the death of Pope John Paul II ~ Mahmoud Abbas
Peace And Justice quotes by Mahmoud Abbas
If I hit you and you hit me and I hit you back and you hit me back and go on, you see, that goes on ad infinitum. It just never ends. Somewhere somebody must have a little sense, and that's
the strong person. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Peace And Justice quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
It's too easy only to blame the militarists, racists, sexists and other pushers of violence for the mess we're in. What is harder is self-examination, moving beyond caring by looking inward to ask the personal question: What more should I be doing everyday to bring about a peace and justice based world, whether across the ocean or across the living room? ~ Colman McCarthy
Peace And Justice quotes by Colman McCarthy
The Church really does not know what [peace and justice] mean apart from the life and death of Jesus of Nazareth. After all, Pilate permitted the killing of Jesus in order to secure both peace and justice (Roman style) in Judea. ~ Stanley Hauerwas
Peace And Justice quotes by Stanley Hauerwas
All this is simply to say that all life is interrelated. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality; tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. As long as there is poverty in this world, no man can be totally rich even if he has a billion dollars. As long as diseases are rampant and millions of people cannot expect to live more than twenty or thirty years, no man can be totally healthy, even if he just got a clean bill of health from the finest clinic in America. Strangely enough, I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. You can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Peace And Justice quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
If we all speak up and engage in small and large acts that pursue love, peace, and justice, we can dismantle the systemic structures that promote racism, xenophobia, White supremacy, and privilege. ~ Sheila Wise Rowe
Peace And Justice quotes by Sheila Wise Rowe
Reconciliation should be accompanied by justice, otherwise it will not last. While we all hope for peace it shouldn't be peace at any cost but peace based on principle, on justice. ~ Corazon Aquino
Peace And Justice quotes by Corazon Aquino
Were there peace and justice in the Middle East, the Arabs would no more need their tinhorn dictators than they would their corpulent princes. ~ James Buchan
Peace And Justice quotes by James Buchan
I actually happened to be in Haiti right before the earthquake in 2010. I was there already with the organization I work with now, Artists for Peace and Justice, visiting the primary school that I had adopted, the Academy for Peace and Justice in Port-au-Prince. I came back, and within days, the earthquake happened. ~ Olivia Wilde
Peace And Justice quotes by Olivia Wilde
Let us not be justices of the peace, but angels of peace. ~ Therese Of Lisieux
Peace And Justice quotes by Therese Of Lisieux
We also know that religion, as the Marxists have always insisted, has, too often, like an opiate, tended to put people to sleep to the reality and the need for the present struggle for peace and justice. ~ Dorothy Day
Peace And Justice quotes by Dorothy Day
If you are trying to transform a brutalized society into one where people can live in dignity and hope, you begin with the empowering of the most powerless. You build from the ground up. ~ Adrienne Rich
Peace And Justice quotes by Adrienne Rich
We who claim to love peace and justice must always be careful that we do not use our righteousness to provoke the violent, and in this way bring about the conflict for which we, too, like other men, are hungering in secret, and with suppressed barbarity. ~ Thomas Merton
Peace And Justice quotes by Thomas Merton
In a real sense all life is inter-related. All men are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be, and you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be ...
This is the inter-related structure of reality. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Peace And Justice quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
I think the first reason that we should love our enemies, and I think this was at the very center of Jesus' thinking, is this: that hate for hate only intensifies the existence of hate and
evil in the universe. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Peace And Justice quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Politics is about the improvement of people's lives. It's about advancing the cause of peace and justice in our country and the world. Politics is about doing well for the people. ~ Paul Wellstone
Peace And Justice quotes by Paul Wellstone
No one painted a more accurate picture of military depredation than Vergil. Inspired though he was by the Latin spirit and by his pride in Rome, he nevertheless glorified Rome's true mission as one of providing the world with the rules of peace and justice. ~ Ernesto Teodoro Moneta
Peace And Justice quotes by Ernesto Teodoro Moneta
There is no limit to the ingenuity of man if it is properly and vigorously applied under conditions of peace and justice. ~ Winston Churchill
Peace And Justice quotes by Winston Churchill
We sincerely and earnestly believe in peace; but if peace and justice conflict, we scorn the man who would not stand for justice though the whole world came in arms against him. ~ Theodore Roosevelt
Peace And Justice quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
The experience of treaties being broken with impunity provide an afflicting lesson to mankind how little dependence is to be placed on treaties which have no other sanction than the obligations of good faith; and which oppose general considerations of peace and justice to the impulse of any immediate interest and passion. ~ Alexander Hamilton
Peace And Justice quotes by Alexander Hamilton
The central task of our time is to evolve a new system of world order based on principles of peace and justice. ~ Richard A. Falk
Peace And Justice quotes by Richard A. Falk
I am still a journeyman actor and a peace and justice activist. I'm a pilgrim trying to win my freedom and serve as best I can in the time I have, with this gift I've been given. ~ Martin Sheen
Peace And Justice quotes by Martin Sheen
Peace is not the product of terror or fear.
Peace is not the silence of cemeteries.
Peace is not the silent result of violent repression.
Peace is the generous,
tranquil contribution of all
to the good of all.
Peace is dynamism.
Peace is generosity.
It is right and it is duty.
~ Oscar A. Romero
Peace And Justice quotes by Oscar A. Romero
The greatest challenge that has surreptitiously arisen in our age is the challenge of knowledge, indeed, not as against ignorance; but knowledge as conceived and disseminated throughout the world by Western civilization; knowledge whose nature has become problematic because it has lost its true purpose due to being unjustly conceived, and has thus brought about chaos in man's life instead of, and rather than, peace and justice; knowledge which pretends to be real but which is productive of confusion and scepticism, which has elevated doubt and conjecture to the 'scientific' rank in methodology; knowledge which has, for the first time in history, brought chaos to the Three Kingdom of Nature; the animal, vegetal and mineral. ~ Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas
Peace And Justice quotes by Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas
An eye for an eye leaves everybody blind. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Peace And Justice quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
The common man or women, whether they are Israeli or Palestinian, Protestant or Catholic or Iraqi or American, the common man just wants to live in peace and justice in a clean environment. When we look around the world and we see that is not the case, we know the will of the majority is not being listened to, that's the first sign that our system is broken. ~ Woody Harrelson
Peace And Justice quotes by Woody Harrelson
Sometime in your life, hope that you might see one starved man, the look on his face when the bread finally arrives. Hope that you might have baked it or bought or even kneaded it yourself. For that look on his face, for your meeting his eyes across a piece of bread, you might be willing to lose a lot, or suffer a lot, or die a little, even. ~ Daniel Berrigan
Peace And Justice quotes by Daniel Berrigan
I am not too happy with terms like "the left", to be honest. And I don't use it much ... .if by "the left" you mean people who are committed to peace and justice and freedom and so on, there can't be elements of the left opposed to workers' movement, at least under that definition. ~ Noam Chomsky
Peace And Justice quotes by Noam Chomsky
I open the books on Right and on ethics; I listen to the professors and jurists; and, my mind full of their seductive doctrines, I admire the peace and justice established by the civil order; I bless the wisdom of our political institutions and, knowing myself a citizen, cease to lament I am a man. Thoroughly instructed as to my duties and my happiness, I close the book, step out of the lecture room, and look around me. I see wretched nations groaning beneath a yoke of iron. I see mankind ground down by a handful of oppressors, I see a famished mob, worn down by sufferings and famine, while the rich drink the blood and tears of their victims at their ease. I see on every side the strong armed with the terrible powers of the Law against the weak.

And all this is done quietly and without resistance. It is the peace of Ulysses and his comrades, imprisoned in the cave of the Cyclops and waiting their turn to be devoured. We must groan and be silent. Let us for ever draw a veil over sights so terrible. I lift my eyes and look to the horizon. I see fire and flame, the fields laid waste, the towns put to sack. Monsters! where are you dragging the hapless wretches? I hear a hideous noise. What a tumult and what cries! I draw near; before me lies a scene of murder, ten thousand slaughtered, the dead piled in heaps, the dying trampled under foot by horses, on every side the image of death and the throes of death. And that is the fruit of your peaceful institutions! Indignat ~ Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Peace And Justice quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
That, paradoxically, narrowing her concerns had made her more capable of love and generosity and empathy and, yes, even peace and justice. It was the difference between loving something out of duty - because the movement required it of you - and loving something you actually loved. Love - real, genuine, unasked-for love - made room for more of itself, it turned out. Love, when freely given, duplicates and multiplies. ~ Nathan Hill
Peace And Justice quotes by Nathan Hill
If you're going to hold someone down you're going to have to hold on by the other end of the chain. You are confined by your own repression. ~ Toni Morrison
Peace And Justice quotes by Toni Morrison
Our object now, as then, is to vindicate the principles of peace and justice in the life of the world as against selfish and autocratic power, and to set up among the really free and self-governed peoples of the world such a concert of purpose and of action as will henceforth insure the observance of those principles. ~ Woodrow Wilson
Peace And Justice quotes by Woodrow Wilson
We must regain our vision and hope and move our country forward on an agenda of peace and justice. ~ Paul Wellstone
Peace And Justice quotes by Paul Wellstone
If we are to have peace on earth, our loyalties must become ecumenical rather than sectional. Our loyalties must transcend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation; and this means we must develop a world perspective. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Peace And Justice quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
In many parts of the world the people are searching for a solution which would link the two basic values: peace and justice. The two are like bread and salt for mankind. ~ Lech Walesa
Peace And Justice quotes by Lech Walesa
Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destroys community and makes brotherhood impossible. It leaves society in monologue rather than dialogue. Violence ends up defeating itself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Peace And Justice quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
The earth is too small a star and we too brief a visitor upon it for anything to matter more than the struggle for peace. ~ Colman McCarthy
Peace And Justice quotes by Colman McCarthy
there's a single phrase to describe Sister Simone, it is "compassionate conviction." With bravery, with courage, with optimism, she is focused on the common good. She is a champion for the cause of peace and justice. She has the will and the drive to do right. ~ Simone Campbell
Peace And Justice quotes by Simone Campbell
It is the spirit and not the form of law that keeps justice alive. ~ Earl Warren
Peace And Justice quotes by Earl Warren
In South America euphemism appears to be the grisly preserve of violent power. 'Liberty' was the name of the biggest prison in Uruguay under the military dictatorship, while in Chile one of the concentration camps was called 'Dignity.' It was the self-styled 'Peace and Justice' paramilitary group in Chiapas [Mexico] that in 1997 shot 45 peasants in the back, nearly all of them women and children, as they prayed in a church. What have the souls of the south done over the past few decades to deserve quite so much liberty and dignity and peace and justice? ~ Isabel Fonseca
Peace And Justice quotes by Isabel Fonseca
Prayer that works is prayer that makes a difference, contemplation that turns into action, on behalf of peace and justice in a troubled and unjust world system. Prayer is energy, the energy of love and transformative power. It is given to us to use for the good of all creation. In prayer God gives us the fuel of life, and asks us to live it. ~ Margaret Silf
Peace And Justice quotes by Margaret Silf
I will continue - as Labour Leader - to pursue the causes of peace and justice in Israel-Palestine, the wider Middle East and all over the world. But those who claim to do so with hateful or inflammatory language do no service to anyone, especially dispossessed and oppressed people in need of better advocacy. ~ Jeremy Corbyn
Peace And Justice quotes by Jeremy Corbyn
What she really wants is a place with more tolerance for differences, less emphasis on materialism, where people value creativity and are interested in working on issues relating to peace and justice. ~ Peter Singer
Peace And Justice quotes by Peter Singer
We want to live a simple life, ... I want to emphasize I'm not an environmentalist who goes to church. I want my principal identity as a Christian to be someone who follows Jesus. I want to work for peace and justice, care for God's environment, be a good neighbor and friend and live the right life. ~ Allen Johnson
Peace And Justice quotes by Allen Johnson
Compassion is where peace and justice kiss ~ Meister Eckhart
Peace And Justice quotes by Meister Eckhart
I like to think I have the guts to stand up anonymously in a western democracy and call for things no-one else believes in - like peace and justice and freedom. ~ Banksy
Peace And Justice quotes by Banksy
The peace and justice movement has to expand and not run away from the plight of gang members. ~ Tom Hayden
Peace And Justice quotes by Tom Hayden
Violence often brings about momentary results. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Peace And Justice quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Speak up, stand up, and keep correcting the false perceptions. Stay true to your heart's views and keep chanting for peace and justice. ~ Suzy Kassem
Peace And Justice quotes by Suzy Kassem
On the other hand, activist Christians who talk much about justice promote a notion of justice that envisions a society in which faith in God is rendered quite unnecessary, since everybody already believes in peace and justice even when everybody does not believe in God. ~ Stanley Hauerwas
Peace And Justice quotes by Stanley Hauerwas
There is life here. Anyone reading this is breathing, maybe hurting, but breathing for sure. And if there is any light to come, it will shine from the eyes of those who look for peace and justice after the rubble and rhetoric are cleared and the phoenix has risen. Affirm life. Affirm life. We got to carry each other now. You're either with life or against it. Affirm life. ~ Suheir Hammad
Peace And Justice quotes by Suheir Hammad
Think about it: virtually every atrocity in the history of humankind was enabled by a populace that turned away from a reality that seemed too painful to face, while virtually every revolution for peace and justice has been made possibly by a group of people who chose to bear witness and demanded that others bear witness as well. ~ Melanie Joy
Peace And Justice quotes by Melanie Joy
For the world order to be one of peace and justice, for the global village to be a theater of right livelihood, it is imperative that a new and proactive spiritual vision commensurate to the challenges of the emerging world order be enunciated without delay. ~ Agnivesh
Peace And Justice quotes by Agnivesh
Unlike a lot of people, I don't feel powerless. I know I can do something. But anyone can do something, it's not about being special. It's about deciding to do it - to dive into work for peace and justice and care for everybody on the planet. ~ Patch Adams
Peace And Justice quotes by Patch Adams
A true revolution of values will soon look uneasily on the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth. ~ Lloyd Banks
Peace And Justice quotes by Lloyd Banks
Settlements may be temporary, but the action of the nations in the interest of peace and justice must be permanent. We can set up permanent processes. We may not be able to set up permanent decisions. ~ Woodrow Wilson
Peace And Justice quotes by Woodrow Wilson
As long as you keep a person down, some part of you has to be down there to hold him down, so it means you cannot soar as you otherwise might. ~ Marian Anderson
Peace And Justice quotes by Marian Anderson
Let us be renewed by God's mercy ... and let us become agents of this mercy, channels through which God can water the earth, protect all creation and make justice and peace flourish. ~ Pope Francis
Peace And Justice quotes by Pope Francis
I want to live in a world where people are judged by who they are instead of what size they wear. ~ Jennifer Weiner
Peace And Justice quotes by Jennifer Weiner
It's daft, locking us up," said Nanny. "I'd have had us killed."
"That's because you're basically good," said Magrat. "The good are innocent and create justice. The bad are guilty, which is why they invent mercy. ~ Terry Pratchett
Peace And Justice quotes by Terry Pratchett
Time well spent leads to life well lived. ~ Martin Uzochukwu Ugwu
Peace And Justice quotes by Martin Uzochukwu Ugwu
Strong-willed children often grow into strong-willed adults who become world leaders, world shapers, and world changers. Parenting them peacefully is not only possible, it's imperative because sowing peace in their hearts now while they're in our care will grow a future of peace later when the world is in their care. ~ L.R. Knost
Peace And Justice quotes by L.R. Knost
[To be a master] means that he must renounce everything personal, that he must be alone, that he must have no friends, that he must be inscrutable and inaccessible even at home among his family, even at parties and dinners. All that remains for him is music; it always helps when he feels tired; it offers peace and contentment; the tensions of the day melt away in it. He remembers listening to Beethoven's Fourth after the Night of the Long Knives, remembers how it gave him strength to carry on, to continue interrogating enemies and beating confessions out of them. The music cleansed everything that time, even the blood. ~ Jiří Weil
Peace And Justice quotes by Jiří Weil
The two Samanas recognized him simply by the perfection of his peace, by the stillness of his being in which there was no seeking, no desire, no imitation, no attempts at being seen
only light and peace. ~ Hermann Hesse
Peace And Justice quotes by Hermann Hesse
Surely nothing is more reproachful to a being endowed with reason, than to resign its powers to the influence of the air, and live in dependence on the weather and the wind, for the only blessings which nature has put into our power, tranquillity and benevolence. To look up to the sky for the nutriment of our bodies, is the condition of nature; to call upon the sun for peace and gaiety, or deprecate the clouds lest sorrow should overwhelm us, is the cowardice of idleness, and the idolatry of folly. ~ Samuel Johnson
Peace And Justice quotes by Samuel Johnson
A great means to preserve continual peace and tranquillity of soul is to receive everything from the hands of God, both great and small, and in whatever way it comes. ~ Dorotheus Of Gaza
Peace And Justice quotes by Dorotheus Of Gaza
I'm enjoying the most perfect tranquillity, free from all worries, and in consequence would like to stay this way forever, in a peaceful corner of the countryside like this. ~ Claude Monet
Peace And Justice quotes by Claude Monet
If only you could be yourself." they shouted. So, she did. "You are not like me or anyone I have met!" they screamed. So, she blended. "You are so fake." they laughed. So, the caterpillar retreated to her cocoon to find peace alone. One day, they came to find her gone. She left a message, "God knew I was different and gave me these beautiful wings because he meant for me to fly. You see ... I wasn't meant to be like you. I was meant to be me
better. ~ Shannon L. Alder
Peace And Justice quotes by Shannon L. Alder
our common humanity made it possible to find common cause in the midst of competition and that peace depended on our own virtue and ethical behavior. ~ Jeffrey D. Sachs
Peace And Justice quotes by Jeffrey D. Sachs
My message to the world is that until we recognize that peace is not just the absence of war but the revival of life on the "backlines," where women are keeping kids in school, caring for the sick and injured, and daily negotiating space for the continuation of critical life processes of this nature, we're going to continue to miss the point. ~ Zainab Salbi
Peace And Justice quotes by Zainab Salbi
I celebrate ideals of individual excellence, self-reliance, and personal responsibility… But rugged individualism alone did not get us to the moon. It did not end slavery, win World War II, pass the Voting Rights Act, or bring down the Berlin Wall. It didn't build our dams, bridges, and highways, or map the human genome. Our most lasting accomplishments require mutual effort and shared sacrifice; this is an idea that is woven into the very fabric of this country. ~ Cory Booker
Peace And Justice quotes by Cory Booker
And so, lifting as we climb, onward and upward we go, struggling and striving, and hoping that the buds and blossoms of our desires will burst into glorious fruition ere long. With courage, born of success achieved in the past, with a keen sense of the responsibility which we shall continue to assume, we look forward to a future large with promise and hope. Seeking no favors because of our color, nor patronage because of our needs, we knock at the bar of justice, asking an equal chance. ~ Mary Church Terrell
Peace And Justice quotes by Mary Church Terrell
First you must learn to control your self. The rest follows. Blessed is he who knows himself and commands himself, for the world is his and love and happiness and peace walk with him wherever he goes. ~ Robert A. Heinlein
Peace And Justice quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
Is his work vengeance? Or Justice? There is the finest line between the two and when i try to focus on it, it becomes less and less clear. ~ Jodi Picoult
Peace And Justice quotes by Jodi Picoult
This election is about the past vs. the future. It's about whether we settle for the same divisions and distractions and drama that passes for politics today or whether we reach for a politics of common sense and innovation, a politics of shared sacrifice and shared prosperity. There are those who will continue to tell us that we can't do this, that we can't have what we're looking for, that we can't have what we want, that we're peddling false hopes. But here is what I know. I know that when people say we can't overcome all the big money and influence in Washington, I think of that elderly woman who sent me a contribution the other day, an envelope that had a money order for $3.01 along with a verse of scripture tucked inside the envelope. So don't tell us change isn't possible. That woman knows change is possible. When I hear the cynical talk that blacks and whites and Latinos can't join together and work together, I'm reminded of the Latino brothers and sisters I organized with and stood with and fought with side by side for jobs and justice on the streets of Chicago. So don't tell us change can't happen. When I hear that we'll never overcome the racial divide in our politics, I think about that Republican woman who used to work for Strom Thurmond, who is now devoted to educating inner city-children and who went out into the streets of South Carolina and knocked on doors for this campaign. Don't tell me we can't change. Yes, we can. Yes, we can change. Yes, we can.
Barack Obama
Peace And Justice quotes by Barack Obama
Morning Meditation

I used to rise early in meditation,
As the ancient saints and mystics,
Looking for peace, bliss, and ecstasy.

Now I awake as the sun rises.
I lie beside her,
Her head and the tops of her shoulders
Revealed from the top of the covers
Where we lay. Her face shines,
As the sun rolls through the bedroom
Curtains and leave her with a mandorla
As if she were the subject of iconography.

I lay in silence as I meditate on the artistry
Of freckles that are perfectly dotted
On her face and shoulders.
I venerate the delicate curvature
Of her lips and nose. Her eyes closed,
Veiled by a composition of lashes
That shroud the green mystery underneath.
As her hair lays dark and graceful
Across the pillows in front of me,
I lay in adoration,
and know there are none like her.

Moses was not even shown God's face,
Yet she has done me one better. ~ Eric Overby
Peace And Justice quotes by Eric Overby
In short, whoever does violence to truth or its expression eventually mutilates justice, even though he thinks he is serving it. From this point of view, we shall deny to the very end that a press is true because it is revolutionary; it will be revolutionary only if it is true, and never otherwise. ~ Albert Camus
Peace And Justice quotes by Albert Camus
Only weeks after Oslo began, when nearly all the world and most of Israel was drunk with the idea of peace, I argued that a Palestinian society not constrained by democratic norms would be a fear society that would pose a grave threat to Israel. ~ Natan Sharansky
Peace And Justice quotes by Natan Sharansky
Go Placidly, Amid the noise and Haste & Remember what peace there may be in silence ... ~ Max Ehrmann
Peace And Justice quotes by Max Ehrmann
When your actions and top values are in harmony, you feel calm and at peace. ~ Amey Hegde
Peace And Justice quotes by Amey Hegde
You know well as I do that when we are talking on the human plane, questions of justice only arise when there is equal power to compel: in terms of practicality the dominant exact what they can and the weak concede what they must. (Said by Athenian envoy to the Melians) ~ Thucydides
Peace And Justice quotes by Thucydides
Arin, are you all right?"
"How?" He managed. "How did her arm break?"
"She fell of a ladder."
He must have visibly relaxed, because his cousin raised her brows and looked ready to scold.
"I imagined something worse," he tried to explain.
She appeared to understand his relief that pain, if it had to come, came this time without malice. Just and accident. Done by no one. The luck, sometimes of life. A bad slip that ends with bread, and someone to bind you. ~ Marie Rutkoski
Peace And Justice quotes by Marie Rutkoski
America is my home I believe in her promise and I will do what I can to secure that promise for future generations of our children. America is great not because of our military might or our economic strength but because of the greatness of Americans, and I welcome the opportunity to stand shoulder to shoulder, side by side with all of you to preserve our heritage rich in liberty and justice for all. ~ Alberto Gonzales
Peace And Justice quotes by Alberto Gonzales
Peace, love and beauty are goals shared by every human heart. The question is whether our minds recognize them as such. ~ Raheel Farooq
Peace And Justice quotes by Raheel Farooq
I like the poem on the page and not at the podium. I like to address the poem in peace and quiet, not on the edge of a folding chair with a full bladder. I can't stand hearing a poem that I can't see. I did a reading at Wayne State, and it ended with the comedy such occasions deserve. I'd seated myself on a piano bench, and discovered upon attempting to arise at the end that the varnish had softened and I was stuck fast. The hinge was to the front, under my knees, so that as I tried to get up, I merely opened the lid. ~ Ted Kooser
Peace And Justice quotes by Ted Kooser
For all the cruelty and hardship of our world, we are not mere prisoners of fate. Our actions matter, and can bend history in the direction of justice. ~ Barack Obama
Peace And Justice quotes by Barack Obama
Hope, and faith that your efforts will have been enough. And as much peace as you can muster with the possibility that they won't. ~ Cecilia Grant
Peace And Justice quotes by Cecilia Grant
The real fabric of American society is not all those flags you see on people's cars ... it's in the Bill of Rights and in our constitutional form of government. ~ John Adams
Peace And Justice quotes by John Adams
But in their turn, before the hour comes, let them listen also to what the Apostle says to them: 'You were once darkness, and now youa re light in the Lord' (Eph 5:8). Let them awaken according to the admonition of our Psalm. Already the mountains are lightened, why then sleep? 'Let them lift their eyes toward the mountains whence help will come to them' (Ps 120:1). What does it mean to say that the mountains are already lightened? Already there has arisen the Sun of Justice, already the Apostles have preached the Gospel, preached the Holy Scriptures, all the Mysteries have been laid open, the veil has been rent, the secret of the temple has been revealed; let them finally lift their eyes toward the mountain whence help will come to them. ~ Augustine Of Hippo
Peace And Justice quotes by Augustine Of Hippo
He who makes war his profession cannot be otherwise than vicious. War makes thieves, and peace brings them to the gallows. ~ Niccolo Machiavelli
Peace And Justice quotes by Niccolo Machiavelli
The goal is not just to create joy for ourselves but, as the Archbishop poetically phrased it, "to be a reservoir of joy, an oasis of peace, a pool of serenity that can ripple out to all those around you." As we will see, joy is in fact quite contagious. As is love, compassion, and generosity. So being more joyful is not just about having more fun. We're talking about a more empathic, more empowered, even more spiritual state of mind that is totally engaged with the world. ~ Dalai Lama XIV
Peace And Justice quotes by Dalai Lama XIV
Jesus tells us what the 'protocol' is, on which we will be judged. It is the one we read in chapter 25 of Matthew's Gospel: I was hungry, I was thirsty, I was in prison, I was sick, I was naked and you helped me, clothed me, visited me, took care of me. Whenever we do this to one of our brothers, we do this to Jesus. Caring for our neighbor; for those who are poor, who suffer in body and in soul, for those who are in need. This is the touchstone. ~ Pope Francis
Peace And Justice quotes by Pope Francis
War is the only sport which is genuinely amusing. And it is the only sport which has any intelligible use. ~ H.L. Mencken
Peace And Justice quotes by H.L. Mencken
