"Whoever wants peace among nations must seek to limit the state and its influence most strictly." ― Ludwig von Mises Topic(s): Politics More From Ludwig von Mises "Only one thing can conquer war – that attitude of mind which can see nothing in war but destruction and annihilation." "Peace and not war is the father of all things." "If some peoples pretend that history or geography gives them the right to subjugate other races, nations, or peoples, there can be no peace." More In Politics "There arose a belief in style – and in banality. Banality encompassed politics, too, because it was a common belief that politics were not worthy of art."― Douglas Sirk "Liberalism is trust of the people tempered by prudence. Conservatism is distrust of the people tempered by fear."― William E. Gladstone "I think especially in a world where you have so little say about what goes on in your life, or in the politics of the world around you, it is wonderful to go into that studio, and tell yourself what to do."― Suzanne Farrell
