"A peace that depends on fear is..." - Quote by Henry Van Dyke

“Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.”

“A little while the rose, And after that the thorn; An hour of dewy morn, And then the glamour goes. Ah, love in beauty born, A little while the rose!”

“Genius is talent set on fire by courage.”

“If you want peace, you won't get it with violence.”

“Educate and inform the whole mass of the people. Enable them to see that it is their interest to preserve peace and order, and they will preserve them.”

“There is no calamity greater than lightly engaging in war.”

“Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.”

“I don't doubt that every prince would like to be both; but since it is hard to accomodate these qualities, if you have to make a choice, to be feared is much safer than to be loved. For it is a good general rule about men, that they are ungrateful, fickle, liars, and deceivers, fearful of danger and greedy for gain....[love] is a link of obligation which men, because they are rotten, will break anything they think doing so serves their advantage; but fear involves dread of punishment, from which they can never escape.”

“Most of us fear reaching the end of our life regretting moments when we didn't speak up, say I love you, or say I'm sorry.”
