Peace Mission Movement

Famous quotes containing the words peace, mission and/or movement:

“No country has suffered so much from the ruins of war while being at peace as the American.”
—Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)

“Every Age has its own peculiar faith.... Any attempt to translate into facts the mission of one Age with the machinery of another, can only end in an indefinite series of abortive efforts. Defeated by the utter want of proportion between the means and the end, such attempts might produce martyrs, but never lead to victory.”
—Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)

“Later
Some movement is reversed and the urgent masks
Speed toward a totally unexpected end
Like clocks out of control.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
