Prayer is the safest method of replying to a word of hatred. ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Peacekeeping quotes by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
If they want peace, nations should avoid the pin-pricks that precede cannon shots. ~ Napoleon Bonaparte
Peacekeeping quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
We have before us the opportunity to forge, for ourselves and for future generations, a New World Order. A world where the rule of law, not the law of the jungle, rules all nations. When we are successful-and we will be-we have a real chance at this New World Order. An order in which a credible United Nations can use its peacekeeping forces to fulfill the promise and vision of its founders. ~ George H. W. Bush
Peacekeeping quotes by George H. W. Bush
It (urban peacekeeping) was quite a task, requiring a permanent balancing act between communities, each with their own interests, festivals, traditions and historical rivalries imported from the wide-open spaces of the countryside into close quarters. ~ Charles Emmerson
Peacekeeping quotes by Charles Emmerson
Without inner peace, outer peace is impossible. We all wish for world peace, but world peace will never be acheived unless we first establish peace within our own minds. We can send so-called 'peacekeeping forces' into areas of conflict, but peace cannot be oppossed from the outside with guns. Only by creating peace within our own mind and helping others to do the same can we hope to achieve peace in this world. ~ Kelsang Gyatso
Peacekeeping quotes by Kelsang Gyatso
There is no such thing as a "peacekeeping mission" in the Middle East. Period. The Middle East has been at war, literally, since the dawn of history. The ~ Larry Correia
Peacekeeping quotes by Larry Correia
Peacekeeping is not a job for soldiers, but only soldiers can do it. ~ Dag Hammarskjold
Peacekeeping quotes by Dag Hammarskjold
The United Nations has been in the Great Lakes Region and Sahel for 50 years, mostly investing in peacekeeping. NOW is the time to invest in young people! ~ Babatunde Osotimehin
Peacekeeping quotes by Babatunde Osotimehin
Peace is not something you wish for, it is something you make, something you are, something you do,and something you give away. ~ Robert Fulghum
Peacekeeping quotes by Robert Fulghum
Today, we have more than 110,000 men and women deployed in conflict zones around the world. They come from nearly 120 countries ... Thanks to their efforts, life-saving humanitarian assistance can be delivered and economic development can begin. ~ Ban Ki-moon
Peacekeeping quotes by Ban Ki-moon
Well, Nigeria has played a constructive role in peacekeeping in various parts of West Africa. But unless and until Nigeria itself is democratic and respects human rights, it too may well be a source of much greater instability as political repression limits the ability of the people of Nigeria to achieve their full potential. ~ Susan Rice
Peacekeeping quotes by Susan Rice
If blue-helmeted U.N. peacekeepers show up in your town or village and offer to protect you, run. Or else get weapons. Your lives are worth so much less than theirs. ~ Kenneth Cain
Peacekeeping quotes by Kenneth Cain
We are the biggest donor to the United Nations, contributing 22 percent of the regular operating budget and nearly 27 percent of the peacekeeping budget. ~ Cliff Stearns
Peacekeeping quotes by Cliff Stearns
We have been protecting the lives of the Russian peacekeepers who had been attacked by their Georgian comrades, because there was a joint peacekeeping force. ~ Sergei Lavrov
Peacekeeping quotes by Sergei Lavrov
Through your support of UN peacekeeping, you can help to make this tantalizing word-"peace"-a reality for all the world's citizens. Together, we can spread the message that UN peacekeeping is essential. Without it, the world would be a much less stable, and more violent, place. ~ Tim Wirth
Peacekeeping quotes by Tim Wirth
Toby had spent three years living in the East End of London, back when he was a student, an area that would have profited greatly from a heavily armed UN Peacekeeping force. Lacking the funds necessary to reach the more civilized areas of London, toby endured three very long years ... ~ Simon R. Green
Peacekeeping quotes by Simon R. Green
This is the one international institution we have in which governments get together to work collectively for a common purpose. International crises, by definition, require international solutions. Peacekeeping is a response to conflict, is a response to situations in which often it is not the business of any one particular country to get into. It seems to me, therefore, that the world will for the foreseeable future need peacekeeping. ~ Shashi Tharoor
Peacekeeping quotes by Shashi Tharoor
Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. ~ Dale Carnegie
Peacekeeping quotes by Dale Carnegie
To many, peace is what enables development and is critical in providing opportunities to young people. To some - especially those from regions involved in conflict - peacekeeping and efforts to preserve peace are absolutely vital in bringing prosperity and hope for the future. ~ Kim Yuna
Peacekeeping quotes by Kim Yuna
Peacekeeping there is still just totally ineffective. The UN is now saying they are sending reinforcements in the area, but I have no particular reason to believe that they will be any stronger than the force there. In Southern Kordofan, it's mostly an Egyptian battalion, and that's really problematic because the population already doesn't trust the Egyptians; they think they're on payroll of the north. So we already have a force that is seen as compromised. ~ Rebecca Hamilton
Peacekeeping quotes by Rebecca Hamilton
Srebrenica was officially 'protected' not just by UN mandate but by a 400-strong peacekeeping contingent of armed Dutch soldiers. But when Mladic's men arrived the Dutch battalion laid down its arms and offered no resistance whatsoever as Serbian troops combed the Muslim community, systematically separating men and boys from the rest. The next day, after Mladic had given his 'word of honor as an officer' that the men would not be harmed, his soldiers marched the Muslim males, including boys as young as thirteen, out into the fields around Srebrenica. In the course of the next four days nearly all of them - 7,400 - were killed. The Dutch soldiers returned safely home to Holland. ~ Tony Judt
Peacekeeping quotes by Tony Judt
Kofi Annan was the U.N. Under-Secretary General for peacekeeping operations. He had the responsibilities in regards to the mounting and operation of peacekeeping missions around the world. ~ Romeo Dallaire
Peacekeeping quotes by Romeo Dallaire
One of the enduring mysteries of America's occupation of Iraq is why a nation that so little relishes peacekeeping nonetheless refuses to turn the job over to the United Nations. ~ Timothy Noah
Peacekeeping quotes by Timothy Noah
The words 'I Love You' kill, and resurrect millions, in less than a second. ~ Aberjhani
Peacekeeping quotes by Aberjhani
Peace enforcement is a much more difficult kind of operation than peacekeeping. ~ Harri Holkeri
Peacekeeping quotes by Harri Holkeri
Britain does not normally these days play a huge part in peacekeeping. ~ William Hague
Peacekeeping quotes by William Hague
How do we pick and choose where to get involved? Canada and other peacekeeping nations have become accustomed to acting if, and only if, international public opinion will support them - a dangerous path that leads to a moral relativism in which a country risks losing sight of the difference between good and evil, a concept that some players on the international stage view as outmoded. Some governments regard the use of force itself as the greatest evil. Others define "good" as the pursuit of human rights and will opt to employ force when human rights are violated. As the nineties drew to a close and the new millennium dawned with no sign of an end to these ugly little wars, it was as if each troubling conflict we were faced with had to pass the test of whether we could "care" about it or "identify" with the victims before we'd get involved. ~ Romeo Dallaire
Peacekeeping quotes by Romeo Dallaire
I don't want to force the peacekeeping nations to feel like I'm pushing them out. ~ Michel Martelly
Peacekeeping quotes by Michel Martelly
Nonviolent Peaceforce ... is building a large-scale professional force of well-trained unarmed peacekeepers ... This nonviolent peacekeeping provides an alternative to which we may say YES when we say NO to war. ~ Mel Duncan
Peacekeeping quotes by Mel Duncan
The George W. Bush administration trotted out all manner of excuses for its invasion of Iraq, but it was clearly mindful of the fact that Saddam Hussein's decision in 2000 to denominate the country's oil sales in euros rather than dollars could hardly set a good precedent. Former treasury secretary Paul O'Neill revealed in his 'as told to' memoir that finding a way to forcibly get rid of Saddam was topic A at the Bush administration's very first National Security Council meeting, a mere ten days after Bush's inauguration. ~ Mike Lofgren
Peacekeeping quotes by Mike Lofgren
Peace is not just a colored ribbon. It's more than a wristband or a t-shirt. It's not just a donation or a 5 K race. It's not just a folk song, or a white dove. And peace is certainly more than a celebrity endorsement. Peace is a fulltime job. It's protecting civilians, overseeing elections, and disarming ex-combatants. The UN has over 100,000 Peacekeepers on the ground, in places others can't or won't go, doing things others can't or won't do. Peace, like war, must be waged. ~ George Clooney
Peacekeeping quotes by George Clooney
True peacekeeping is about properly processing the emotions before they get stuffed and rot into something horribly toxic. ~ Lysa TerKeurst
Peacekeeping quotes by Lysa TerKeurst
We in the Philippines know we have to perform our own role in terms of promoting peace in the world. We are actually members of the U.N. peacekeeping forces in many areas. ~ Benigno Aquino III
Peacekeeping quotes by Benigno Aquino III
As I prepare for my second term as Secretary-General, I am thinking hard about how we can meet the expectations of the millions of people who see the U.N.'s blue flag as a banner of hope. We have to continue our life-saving work in peacekeeping, human rights, development and humanitarian relief. ~ Ban Ki-moon
Peacekeeping quotes by Ban Ki-moon
Peace comes from being able to contribute the best that we have, and all that we are, toward creating a world that supports everyone. But it is also securing the space for others to contibute the best that they have and all that they are. ~ Hafsat Abiola
Peacekeeping quotes by Hafsat Abiola
I'm not a natural killer! See this? See what it says? I'm supposed to keep the peace, I am! If I kill people to do it, I'm reading the wrong manual! ~ Terry Pratchett
Peacekeeping quotes by Terry Pratchett
Peacekeeping works in some situations, but it very often needs other ingredients. Peacekeeping is not the aspirin of international security. ~ Jean-Marie Guehenno
Peacekeeping quotes by Jean-Marie Guehenno
Over the past year, several cases of human rights abuses, specifically sexual exploitation and abuse, by individuals involved in U.N. peacekeeping operations have raised the suspicions of many Members of Congress and members of the International Relations Committee. ~ Michael McCaul
Peacekeeping quotes by Michael McCaul
Until that moment, Canada had been a secular and progressive nation that believed in transfer payments to better distribute the country's wealth, the Westminster model of governance, a national medicare program, a peacekeeping role for the armed forces, an arm's-length public service, the separation of church and state, and solid support for the United Nations. Stephen Harper believed in none of these things. ~ Michael Harris
Peacekeeping quotes by Michael Harris
Five enemies of peace inhabit with us - avarice, ambition, envy, anger, and pride; if these were to be banished, we should infallibly enjoy perpetual peace. ~ Petrarch
Peacekeeping quotes by Petrarch
As we talk with candour, we open the doors to new possibilities and new areas of cooperation in advance in democracy, in combating terrorism, in energy and environment, science and technology and international peacekeeping. ~ Atal Bihari Vajpayee
Peacekeeping quotes by Atal Bihari Vajpayee
We need to begin an all-out diplomatic offensive on Darfur in order to prepare the way for a peacekeeping force that can ensure protection for the people of Darfur. ~ Kendrick Meek
Peacekeeping quotes by Kendrick Meek
Peacekeeping funds are an important and necessary part of what America does for humanity and the rest of the world. ~ Michael McCaul
Peacekeeping quotes by Michael McCaul
The primary, the fundamental, the essential purpose of the United Nations is to keep peace. Everything it does which helps prevent World War III is good. Everything which does not further that goal, either directly or indirectly, is at best superfluous. ~ Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr.
Peacekeeping quotes by Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr.
Peace-building has to accompany peacekeeping; the security provided by peacekeepers will be short-lived if the police are not transformed and there is no credible system of justice. ~ Jeffrey Laurenti
Peacekeeping quotes by Jeffrey Laurenti
