I think that this is the first war in history that on the morrow the victors sued for peace and the vanquished called for unconditional surrender.

Peace is not the product of a victory or a command. It has no finishing line no final deadline no fixed definition of achievement. Peace is a never-ending process the work of many decisions.

Peace has its victories no less than war but it doesn't have as many monuments to unveil.

No nation ever had an army large enough to guarantee it against attack in time of peace or ensure it of victory in time of war.

The pursuit of peace and progress cannot end in a few years in either victory or defeat. The pursuit of peace and progress with its trials and its errors its successes and its setbacks can never be relaxed and never abandoned.

You will find peace not by trying to escape your problems but by confronting them courageously. You will find peace not in denial but in victory.

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

I learned patience perseverance and dedication. Now I really know myself and I know my voice. It's a voice of pain and victory.

The historic ascent of humanity taken as a whole may be summarized as a succession of victories of consciousness over blind forces - in nature in society in man himself.

It is a law of human nature that in victory even the coward may boast of his prowess while defeat injures the reputation even of the brave.
