"What my enemies call a general peace..." - Quote by Napoleon Bonaparte

More on Peace
“There is an alternative to war. It's staying in bed and growing your hair.”
“When filled with holy truth the mind rests.”
“It must be a peace without victory... Victory would mean peace forced upon the loser, a victor's terms imposed upon the vanquished. It would be accepted in humiliation, under duress, at an intolerable sacrifice, and would leave a sting, a resentment, a bitter memory upon which terms of peace would rest, not permanently, but only as upon quicksand. Only a peace between equals can last.”

“Whatever you fear most has no power - it is your fear that has the power. The thing itself cannot touch you. But if you allow your fear to seep into your mind and overtake your thoughts, it will rob you of your life.”
“Satyagraha does not depend on outside help, it derives all its strength from within.”
“I'am not predictor of fights, but I know when I hit 'em good, the fight is close to an end”
