Permanent Peace

Famous quotes containing the words permanent and/or peace:

“Most Americans are born drunk, and really require a little wine or beer to sober them. They have a sort of permanent intoxication from within, a sort of invisible champagne.... Americans do not need to drink to inspire them to do anything, though they do sometimes, I think, need a little for the deeper and more delicate purpose of teaching them how to do nothing.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

“The peace of God, which passeth all understanding.”
—Bible: New Testament St. Paul, in Philippians, 4:7.

The words are also used in the Book of Common Prayer, Holy Communion (1662)
