"The mere absence of war is not..." - Quote by John F Kennedy

“Peace does not rest in charters and covenants alone. It lies in the hearts and minds of the people.”

“Every area of trouble gives out a ray of hope; and the one unchangeable certainty is that nothing is certain or unchangeable.”

“Let us not be blind to our differences-but let us also direct attention to our common interests and to the means by which those differences can be resolved. And if we cannot end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. For, in the final analysis, our most common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal.”

“It must be a peace without victory”

“Worry is interest paid before it's due.”

“It's just as evil to kill Vietnamese as it is to kill Americans.”

“Rebellion is what you make of it. When you've been on a tour bus for two months straight, and then you get in your car and drive wherever you want, that can feel rebellious.”

“Eternity is called whole, not because it has parts, but because it is lacking in nothing.”

“Compassion can be roughly defined in terms of a state of mind that is nonviolent, nonharming, and nonaggressive. It is a mental attitude based on the wish for others to be free of their suffering and is associated with a sense of commitment, responsibility, and respect towards others.”
