Permanent Peace

Famous quotes containing the words permanent and/or peace:

    A country whose buildings are of wood, can never increase in its improvements to any considerable degree.... Whereas when buildings are of durable materials, every new edifice is an actual and permanent acquisition to the state, adding to its value as well as to its ornament.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    All of us realize that war requires action. What is sometimes harder for us to realize is that peace and neutrality also require action.
    Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
