"We want peace and a political solution to the situation in Chechnya." ― Boris Yeltsin Topic(s): Peace More From Boris Yeltsin "A man must live like a great brilliant flame and burn as brightly as he can. In the end he burns out. But this is far better than a mean little flame." "I would like to stress here that a lasting peace in the Chechen republic and so-called peace talks with the bandits are not the same thing, and I would ask everyone to make no mistake about that." "We don’t appreciate what we have until it’s gone. Freedom is like that. It’s like air. When you have it, you don’t notice it." More In Peace "The need for peace in Northern Ireland goes well beyond political stability. It now speaks to regional Europe and even global stability."― Hillary Clinton "Great music does not just make me feel good. It means something. It makes us understand. It makes us happy."― Lukas Foss "Those are serious questions of war and peace, of freedom or tyranny, whether or not there is ever going to be a hope of us instilling some democratic systems in a part of the world that frankly is breeding hate and destruction directed right at us."― Zach Wamp
