Too long have I dwelt among those who hate peace.

I am in favor of peace; but when I speak, they want war.

For I am afraid that when I come, I may not find you as I wish, and you may not find me as you wish. I fear that there may be quarreling, jealousy, rage, rivalry, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorder.

And the pilgrim goes on sorrowful yet always rejoicing - sorrowful because it is so far off and the road so long. Hopeful as he looks up to the eternal city far away, resplendent in the evening glow and he thinks of two old sayings that he heard long ago - the one is: "Much strife must be striven Much suffering must be suffered Much prayer must be prayed And then the end will be peace.

The problem is not merely man against man or nation against nation. It is man against war.

From this sin, that a man loveth himself too inordinately, almost everything hangeth which needeth to be utterly overcome: when that evil is conquered and put under foot, there shall be great peace and tranquillity continually. But because few strive earnestly to die perfectly to themselves, and do not heartily go forth from themselves, therefore do they remain entangled in themselves, and cannot be raised in spirit above themselves.

Nu putem fi în relaÈ›ii de pace cu alÃ…£ii pentru c? nu suntem în relaÃ…£ii de pace cu noi înÅŸine, ÅŸi nu putem fi în relaÃ…£ii de pace cu noi înÅŸine pentru c? nu avem pace cu Dumnezeu.

We ain't goin' study war no more.

You cannot stop big wars if you carry on little wars yourselves.

We cannot win the war on terror with guns and bombs because everyone we kill is replaced by dozens more who seek revenge. The only answer is total, radical commitment to Jesus Christ.

well, blessed are the peacemakers, especially the fighting peacemakers

Thus we lived through a major war. The questions in the ghettos was, can we make it through a minor peace?
