"I cease not to advocate peace; even..." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“There are no true friends in politics.”

“No man can be brave who thinks pain the greatest evil; nor temperate, who considers pleasure the highest good.”

“It is not a virtue, but a deceptive copy and imitation of virtue, when we are led to the performance of duty by pleasure as its recompense.”

“Peace is not merely the absence of visible conflict. Only a just peace based on the inherent rights and dignity of every individual can truly be lasting.”

“The goal of pacifism is possible only though a supranational organization. To stand unconditionally for this cause is the criterion of true pacifism.”

“How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank Here we will sit, and let the sounds of music Creep in our ears; soft stillness, and the night Become the touches of sweet harmony”

“If a man says that it is right to give every one his due, and therefore thinks within his own mind that injury is due from a just man to his enemies but kindness to his friends, he was not wise who said so, for he spoke not the truth, for in no case has it appeared to be just to injure any one.”

“It is not the prisoners who need reformation, it is the prisons.”

“What is equality of rights between a giant and a dwarf?”
