Peace

• Peace: From sword to plowshare — the journey from destruction to building
  Is peace a natural outcome, or an achievement that demands immense human effort?
  nation will not raise a sword against nation, and they will no longer learn war.
• The cynical peace (the peace of the empire)
  Is the peace we seek true freedom, or quiet surrender?
  and where they turn the land into a wasteland, they call it 'peace'.
• Peace: political peace (democracies don't fight)
  Why do kings go to war so easily, while democracies avoid it?
  In contrast, in a constitution that is not republican, war is the easiest thing in the world, since the ruler is not a citizen of the state but its owner.
• Peace at all costs (the tragedy of appeasement)
  Could the intense desire for peace be the very thing that brings about war?
  I believe it is peace for our time. Go home and get a nice quiet sleep.
• Is the way to peace through war?
  Is true peace born of weakness or strength?
  the supreme excellence is to break the enemy's resistance without fighting
