"Waging war we understand, but not waging peace, or at any rate less consciously so." ― Fredrik Bajer Topic(s): Peace More From Fredrik Bajer "There is one criticism which cannot be leveled at interparliamentary conferences but which is applicable to a great extent to peace congresses: the meetings waste time." "We have long possessed the art of war and the science of war, which have been evolved in the minutest detail." "But I feel convinced, and I venture even to prophesy in this regard, that the time will come when there will also be a minister of peace in the cabinet, seated beside the ministers of war." More In Peace "Our most important task is to transform our consciousness so that violence is no longer an option for us in our personal lives, that understanding that a world of peace is possible only if we relate to each other as peaceful beings, one individual at a time."― Deepak Chopra "How can they say my life is not a success? Have I not for more than sixty years got enough to eat and escaped being eaten?"― Logan P. Smith "Nothing is more conducive to peace of mind than not having any opinion at all."― Georg C. Lichtenberg
