Keeping Peace

Famous quotes containing the words keeping and/or peace:

    Jealousy is in some measure just and reasonable, since it merely aims at keeping something that belongs to us or we think belongs to us, whereas envy is a frenzy that cannot bear anything that belongs to others.
    —Francois Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    Democracies are notorious for a tendency to obey the feelings rather than the mind; thus the nature of democracies often makes it difficult to conclude a peace after a hard-won war. Generous victors are rare.
    Amos Elon (b. 1926)
