Permanent Peace

Famous quotes containing the words permanent and/or peace:

“There is no permanent class of hired laborers amongst us. Twenty five years ago, I was a hired laborer.

—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

“Roman, remember that you shall rule the nations by your authority, for this is to be your skill, to make peace the custom, to spare the conquered, and to wage war until the haughty are brought low.”
