"Peace is the happy natural state of man; war is corruption and disgrace." ― James Thomson Topic(s): Peace More From James Thomson "I know no subject more elevating, more amazing, more ready to the poetical enthusiasm, the philosophical reflection, and the moral sentiment than the works of nature. Where can we meet such variety, such beauty, such magnificence?" "More firm and sure the hand of courage strikes, when it obeys the watchful eye of caution." "But who can paint like Nature? Can imagination boast, amid its gay creation, hues like hers?" More In Peace "Detainee policy in this war is hard, it’s complicated, but we must get it right. We would be better off as a nation if we could close Gitmo safely and start a new prison that he could use that the world would see as a better way to doing business."― Lindsey Graham "The services in wartime are fit only for desperadoes, but in peace are only fit for fools."― Benjamin Disraeli "I am running for President of the United States to enable the Goddess of Peace to encircle within her arms all the children of this country and all the children of the world."― Dennis Kucinich
