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....

—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

“When they are preparing for war, those who rule by force speak most copiously about peace until they have completed the mobilization process.”
