Each religion by the help of more or less myth which it takes more or less seriously proposes some method of fortifying the human soul and enabling it to make its peace with its destiny.

In the whole round of human affairs little is so fatal to peace as misunderstanding.

Peace Train is a song I wrote the message of which continues to breeze thunderously through the hearts of millions of human beings.

An honorable Peace is and always was my first wish! I can take no delight in the effusion of human Blood but if this War should continue I wish to have the most active part in it.

I get those fleeting beautiful moments of inner peace and stillness - and then the other 23 hours and 45 minutes of the day I'm a human trying to make it through in this world.

If civilization is to survive we must cultivate the science of human relationships - the ability of all peoples of all kinds to live together in the same world at peace.

In every society in human history including the United States those in power seek to imbue themselves with the attributes of religion and patriotism as a way of getting greater support for their policy and insulating themselves from any criticism.

You'll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism out of the human race.

As anyone who has ever been around a cat for any length of time well knows cats have enormous patience with the limitations of the human kind.

The days of our lives for all of us are numbered. We know that. And yes there are certainly times when we aren't able to muster as much strength and patience as we would like. It's called being human.
